That seems like more of an agreement and add-on than an arguement. Had I fleshed out my post further, it would've been fairly similar. There are errors you can make that will have relatively less impact on your game than others.

Going looney and deciding to relentlessly (and foolishly) cap every hand you ever decide to try to bluff will much worse than perhaps sloppy attempts at stealing the blinds after everyone else folds. If you played well otherwise, you could survive I think and blunder with your steals. But if you have this twisted policy of spewing so much money everytime you bluff ever, you'll soon be considering whether you want to invest in a another bankroll.

Which is NOT to say that continuously failing to steal/defend the blinds is an insignificant mistake. Sloppy blind steals/defense is a significant part of my current slump (among other things). I think I've flagged all of my immediate survival leaks, I just need to get all the plugs securely in place.
