I remember realizing not too long ago how silly I was being after just having read the Quantum Physics sequence here. I would watch popular science shows and have to have a little rant about how they were ALL WRONG! (Though I still admit any given popular science show can say some silly things) I realized every time I went to explain how they were ALL WRONG I would just say some secondhand (at least) and very opinionated ideas, and realize I didn't have very deep understanding from all that. But I would keep going.
So I've decided to stop, because it's irrational and at least a bit annoying I'd bet.
I think this is a pretty universal Rule of Stupid for me. Many things that I read about and opine on without actually doing, I later learn enough to feel embarassed about. I've gotten a bit quieter about pieces of knowledge I haven't used to accomplish something.
