I think we're saying the same thing in different ways.

To the extent that the message we're suggesting Lindsey deliver - that you can determine your own prospects - is the same, yes.

However, because we're limited to our own experience, and maybe that of a few others, it's hard to know how our prospects relate to the market. If you're employed or getting regular offers of new contracts, then obviously the market is going to seem fine to you.
Another way of looking at this is that a statement about the market is about average prospects. If you're not average, then the statement about the market doesn't apply.

I have to disagree with you there. It is hard to drive through the ghost town that is Silicon Valley every day without noticing that something is amiss with "the market" even if you are fielding multiple contracts. And the state of "the market" inevitably affects the manner in which you approach your prospective clients. There's hardly ever a time when what's going on around you doesn't "apply" to you in some way or another.
