I know I shouldn't be surprised at this stage of my life, but honestly I am continually baffled by the confidence with which people state things as facts in a condescending manner, when they are just flat out wrong.
I generally allow myself a cursory search on the device that I'm using to make a comment before just going all in and declaring something as true. Especially if I'm gonna be snarky, it seems logical that I'd at least make sure my snark was correct.
FWIW I've been totally wrong before when I was planning to be argumentative based on my unsubstantiated opinion, this strategy has saved me from making an ass of myself more than once.
