Owning up to posturing I think it's good advice to be aware of doing this but you can go too far in compensating. Don't derail other people's speech by riddling them with questions or admissions, but if they ask you if you know be honest. In other terms, nodding to a speaker can mean "please continue", I think it rarely actually means "I understand completely".
