I agree that Holden is a complete hypocrite throughout the book, but I think
this isn't the best example.  That is, I don't think Holden's "don't ever
tell anybody anything" is a piece of advice he's been carrying around
throughout the length of the narrative; I think it's a conclusion he's
arrived at only now, having told us everything and having begun to miss
everybody.
