That's certainly less-than-useful advice.  

If it doesn't work on the EARL7* because of *platform limitations*, then
it's good advice to tell us so.

If it works on a box, and all the bits and pieces are correctly filled
in, then this can be tremendously useful - but, of course, people need
to be aware what they are doing and why.  I could see very good reason
to *not* want to see parts of the traffic


   A--- [ Box ] --- C
           |
           B

if there is lots of stuff going on between "A" and "B", but I really
don't want to spend resources collecting, storing, evaluating these
flows because they are not relevant, but I *must* see everything coming
in on C or going out on C, having "flow ingress and egress" on C is
the right choice.  Provided the platform can do it.
