Try to refute yourself mentally before you speak. If you can argue on both sides of a topic, then you aren't really sure. The best way to proceed when you're not sure is to ask the others. Don't say, "The internet is made of turtles," instead say, "hey, I heard it's turtles all the way down, do you know if that's true?" And listen. That's how you fill in those gaps in your knowledge. I live by the axiom, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove any doubt."
