      I have to ask: You are aware that you have no idea what you are talking about, yet you felt the need to answer him? Can you explain why? This is an extremely common thing for people to do, so it is very interesting to hear (if possible) what your train of thought was.

        I’m not sure that beating up on someone who decides to say that they aren’t familiar with something and are retracting an earlier suggestion is a good idea. Seems likely to lead to people not retracting things even when they think that they might not be correct.

          I simply want to understand the thought process. I appreciate that they acknowledge it to begin with.
