I think it would be better to change “the person who is the best influence on you” to a phrasing that makes it clear you want us to think about someone we know personally. When I did the thought experiment I came up with names of people that I never personally met, and so the bottom line didn’t work.

(Of course, you can do the thought experiment again after reading the bottom line, but I guess the probability for a person to do the thought experiment twice is much lower…)

Thanks!
