I mostly agree with the quote but not fully because it is simplistic.
One thing I firmly believe is the following: Causes, correlations and sources of emotions are more important than the emotions themselves. For example: A source of happiness is more important to focus on than the happiness you are already experiencing, focusing on your own happiness won't make you very happy, or at least not for more than a couple of minutes. Happiness doesn't make us happy, that which is outside of happiness makes us happy. The Paradox of Hedonism also known as the Pleasure Paradox is relevant to this.
This also applies to other emotions, for the same reasons.
As for ambiguity, yes it is ambiguous. Also amphibious, because turtle.
"Mostly agree" technically includes "fully agree", of course, because when something is fully something it is certainly not not mostly it. And "It is not not it" = "it is it".
"Mostly disagree" technically includes "fully disagree", of course, because when something is fully something it is certainly not not mostly it. And "It is not not it"= "it is it".
Lol.
