> representing speculative things as high-confidence erodes your credibility

I wish you were right, but I actually think most of the time the exact opposite is true: appearing highly-confident about speculative things makes someone seem more credible, rather than less.

Right up until something you say gets proven to be wrong.

The higher confidence you presented your wrong statement, the higher the hit to your credibility will be.

I very much want this to be true but it seems you’ll do fine if you can confidently spew off another explanation.
