Exactly, and people need to hear that.
Because when they say, "How do I plan" they're not just saying, "how do I fix the story", they're saying "how do I prepare, how do I make myself ready".
What structure of prep do these GMs need to produce to be able to keep making interesting and awesome stuff in responce to the other players? If a player doesn't know what to do, they ask each other and they look down at their sheet.
"Don't plan" can be accompanied by "don't panic, look at your sheet and imagine ways to do that stuff" or all the other peices of advice. If it isn't, there is no displacement of anxiety, and more importantly, no sign of actual solutions.
