Assuming this question is in good faith:

I think* it has to do with not wanting to say something as 100% truth without knowing it's 100% true. Which can be interpreted as weakness/insecurity among more business/marketing minded folks.

*see my own usage of "I think"

It was in good faith but I can see how it comes across as snarky, that's bad wording on my part

I can see how that fits, nice one

I didn't take it as snarky[1], so I wouldn't worry about that if I were you.

[1] I even replied in kind, with a question :-)

> Why do nerds always give instructions as questions haha

Why don't you look it up and tell us?

:-)

Closest I got was: not being introduced to (or not inspired by) xkcd's ten thousand https://xkcd.com/1053/

Ever since I read that one I've loved being able to introduce people to things rather than doing the question mark "you should know this" sort of reply

It was a wild search tangent admittedly
