Basically, don't make definitive statements about things you don't understand. Just try to be as helpful as you can with the knowledge you have.
It also helps if you're not struggling with a narcissistic personality disorder that causes you to make definitive statements in the first place.

Actually, I do know. I've spent 30 minutes researching it the other day, so I actually know a ton about it.
And then one day you do.
I much prefer Dunning-Notice-Krueger. I get a credit collections notice delivered by a guy with a metal-clawed glove. Now with Fedora!
