Deep in the ocean of words, the author said something like "doing stuff your character can do according to the rules of the game isn't cool". And I totally disagree.

Choosing the right thing, at the right time, to help your party (or even better, enhance your party's abilities) feels pretty good, and gets accolades at the table.

I think I agree, especially when those abilities are tricky to line up, are situational, or an option of a few choices, etc. It's important not to gatekeep how people have fun or how they feel cool!
