Yes! I think people are so afraid to be wrong or give bad advice since it's all to easy to be disproven (you said the street was X but it's actually Y, never-mind the fact that X runs parallel to Y and is just one block away) that they would rather remain silent. We used to learn better by being OK to be slightly wrong, then taking no offense when offered a gentle correction.
