Heck, Ben, I posted a blunder in the same thread about long lens because I grabbed a long lens to check its scale and read the meter scale instead of the feet scale. I hate when I blunder, but what the heck? Everyone blunders sometimes. It feels like I blunder more than most, but that's what the edit function is for - not so no one will know, but to acknowledge and correct. Does everyone know I blundered. Sure! At least if they are paying attention. The alternative is to be silent or obsess over double checking everything I post. Nope, won't do it. Too lazy. I know a lot but I don't know everything and like everyone else, some of what I know is wrong. Do you forgive others for making mistakes? I do. We are only fallible human beings. If you'd forgive others, why not forgive yourself? Sure, it's natural to cringe when you blunder, especially in public. Ouch! But, ... I cringe, therefore I am. I'll stop blundering when I draw my last breath. Until then, I'd rather live and blunder and hope folks understand, 'cause screwing up sometimes is what people do.

No, its ok to be wrong, but I was just too lazy to make an exact statement. I knew better than half way and it was not a mistake, it was just pure laziness. But a new person may take it as fact and while it might actually sort of work, it works better if you do it right.
I would like a reputation of giving correct information. much of photography seems to be subjective here correct has no meaning, but some of it is very exact, and I should not play fast and loose with that.
