    Closest I got was: not being introduced to (or not inspired by) xkcd's ten thousand https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/ Ever since I read that one I've loved being able to introduce people to things rather than doing the question mark "you should know this" sort of reply It was a wild search tangent admittedly

  Assuming this question is in good faith: I think* it has to do with not wanting to say something as 100% truth without knowing it's 100% true. Which can be interpreted as weakness/insecurity among more business/marketing minded folks. *see my own usage of "I think"

    It was in good faith but I can see how it comes across as snarky, that's bad wording on my part I can see how that fits, nice one
