Best not to be so literal and give a little latitude.
Look, I do the same thing when somebody posts some medical nonsense---and I justify it by knowing I'm preventing the dissemination of erroneous information. At least I get the benefit of a good laugh when someone wants to argue the point because they "googled it" |
I don't think I set myself up by attempting to be the guardian of ensuring factual posts. I intentionally set myself up by asking on multiple threads to point out where I am wrong, just don't make up stuff I said and point that out as wrong. I welcome being corrected. Making mistakes does not make you a bad person or reduce your worth. I have Nno issue with you or anyone else pointing it out. I admitted it, apologized for it and then got it wrong again. I then admitted I got it wrong again and apologized.
Can you say the same? When it is pointed out to you, you ignore it and find a separate point to make. I think that is telling.
If someone googles it, and they quote Doctors, peer-reviewed studies, etc. Is your opinion always more correct? If so, what is your source of information that no one else in the world has? (I know, your experience is something that no one else has. they may have more of their own experience, but no one has yours. IF that is what you point to, please explain why your experience is better than everyone else's.) And if someone said they googled something, and it was something you published as that MAY happen, would it still be non-sense?
