Why do you give bad advice?


Now I'm not talking about different opinions or an honest mistake, but a response that is clearly bad advice. Here's just one example.

Poster states that due to living in a small town and no larger town in a reasonable driving distance, he has no way to audition, so he's looking for helpful advice in considering an upgrade.

Then I see responses like, listen to as many as you can before deciding, take whatever to your local dealer to see how well they match, or find a good brick and mortar dealer to audition.

I see this happening more, so maybe it's just a sign of the times that many don't take the time to read the entire post and only respond to the title.

OK, that's my little rant for the day.

Questions are sometimes vague because they don’t know what they want or don’t want, aren’t sure of what quality they’ve got, have no big picture, suffer under a lifetime of misinformation and assumptions, and place logic before experience. OK those were my personal hurdles. Who has been around the hobby for awhile and has never given bad advice? I look back 20 years and some of my posts are downright embarrassments. Everyone is offering help in their own way. Whether they are informed and experienced and to what degree is for the OP to sort out.
