when reading writing advice: only a sith deals in absolutes

I think every writer is different.  You should basically just read and you’ll figure what you like and what you don’t, what you think works and what doesn’t.  You’ll likely start off imitating favorite authors of your own, but in time develop into your on style.

Also, the statement ‘only a sith deals in absolutes’ is actually an absolute, so… yeah.
