Very true! I do my best to remind myself of that here. I'm no expert on anything, I just enjoy a lot of reading and looking at pictures and finding answers to questions that come up. Just because I've done more reading than the average person on owls, I still only know what I've read and have tried to verify as factual to the best of my abilities. Something things will come up and my brain will want to fill in the gaps of the knowledge I can find, and I just have to tell it to shut the heck up. I don't ever want to give you guys info I can't at least site a few sources for.
But each of us can only know what we "know" as there are so many gaps in everyone's personal knowledge. There's nothing wrong with that, as it's impossible to know everything, but we do need to be mindful of our blind spots and not just assume we know what is there. That should be looked at as a new avenue to explore, not a spot to just throw a random guess and call it a day.
Your attitude is why this is such a great community. Thank you for all you share with us.
You guys are all so nice! ☺️
It wouldn't work without all of you being such a great audience! I'm very thankful we all get to have fun together.
