We all have opinions about everything, but likely are only truly knowledgeable about one or two things. Whether it be our job, life's passion, or whatever, we all have that area that we know we can pretty confidently hold our own in. Which makes conversations on the internet about that specific topic that much more painful to watch, when you know someone is posturing, or just being willfully ignorant.
The thought was brought up because I work in marketing and last night's Xbox Series S leak had a lot of people say this was an intentional/controlled announcement, which just blew my mind that people would think that. Lots of people throwing out "testing the waters", "A/B testing customers", and other concepts that just didn't apply here at all, it was very frustrating to read.
How do you react when you see people speak ignorantly about something you know a lot about? Do you try to jump in and gently inform, or do you just need to ignore thread and keep move on to retain your sanity?
