pooch, you make a very good point! If we don't know for certain the answer to someone's question, we should not "answer" it! Wrong information is worse by far than no information. Half right/half wrong information is no better!
This is supposedly the "information age" what with the internet, social media, etc., but I think it's more like the "MIS-information age"! Too many people love to repeat things they only half heard, details that they forgot so they make stuff up, or they didn't fully understand what they heard or read so they are really in the dark. If this has happened to us (and it hits all of us at one time or another), we just need to refrain from giving "advice"!
