TALKING TALL

Talking Tall ~ 127 ~ How ignorant people can be of established facts, and yet how keenly they feel the urge to expound their views as if there were nothing in the world that they did not know. Before holding forth on a subject, one should make a thorough study of it, for opinions based on inadequate research are bound to mislead the unwary. Empty utterances may impress the illinformed, but to the knowledgeable, intelligent listener, they are simply a proclamation of the speaker’s ignorance. Sadly it is often the greatest if ignoramuses who make the weightiest of pronouncements (111:18).
