I suspect that the more someone knows themselves, the less flakey they become, for they’ve seen deep into their cognitive processes and are able to intuit what commitment to direct their energy at. And when they do flake, it’s for reasons that are unquestionably valid, not for indulgent purposes—not due to a gap in awareness that caught them unawares.
I keep looking to see if there’s more to this. I definitely agree I just wish you had given some examples

Well I can only go off personal anecdotes. People I know that refuse to acknowledge their failures and learn important lessons from them seem to start flaking out on everything, probably because they’re avoiding any sort of self-examination. Like I said, it’s just a suspicion.

We all have our Achilles heel. It’s recognising it and covering it.
