People who don't know when to say "I don't know" get their 'ignore' flag set by me as well. If he's a genius in field X then makes ludicrous comments about field Y I might set his ignore flag as well. Maybe it's just one of my pet peeves as an engineer, but I really can't stand it when people aren't comfortable saying 'I don't know'. I consider it a character flaw.
- erikpukinskis 13y agoIf your job is to talk about stuff on TV, then you do the best with what you've got. I've written Perl code. Really, really bad Perl code. I would've loved to throw my hands up and say "let someone who knows their shit do this" but I was the only person, and the job needed to be done. You have to understand that for media personalities, offering their opinions... that's their work output. You can shut up and still keep earning a paycheck. Their job is to keep talking. Essentially what you're advocating is to have TV channels just broadcast dead air most of the time. Maybe that's what you want. But it's not really a reasonable suggestion. I guess we can have a laugh about it though.
