Things that are truly helpful to the BC are things like "learn how to use and identify ranges to your advantage" and "learn what a balanced strategy is and when to favor balance vs exploitation."

Sure, it's not "advanced" and not in the upper level of truly understanding NLHE, but I observe it takes a bit of background to talk about these topics meaningfully.
