I absolutely can’t stand people that don’t take the time to learn the answer to the question being asked of them.
If people don’t know the answer to the question being asked, I’d much rather hear “you know, that’s a great question, and while I don’t know the answer to that question, I’ll find out for you” if it is their responsibility or job to know the answer than an ansewr that is wrong and can be proven to be wrong in less than 5 simple steps.
Wrong answers from ‘authorities on a subject’ make me not trust those authorities any more, and trust is crucial to an organization that is growing.
Wrong answers make me want to do the work myself.
Wrong answers make me think the authority is so stupid that I won’t ask them any other questions.
Wrong answers make me think that the authority thinks I’m too stupid to know that they’re full of shit.
Being given blatantly wrong answers while the deliverer speaks with that tone that exudes almighty authority feels like being fed human excrement with only a rusty bent fork to eat it after being left in a dungeon for 40 days and 40 nights.
Giving wrong answers is lazy and is the wrong thing to do.
I hate people that consistently give wrong answers and don’t concede defeat when proven wrong… that don’t retreat and admit their inadequacy… that don’t correct themselves.
I hate people that survive just by covering their ass after consistently giving wrong lazy answers.
I also deplore people that won’t ever hold other people accountable.
