I would also want to mention that not everything you see on the forum that you'll believe totally. Forum is made up of people and humans make mistakes sometimes. Also some knowledge can be outrightly outdated by the time you had access to it.
That's a good point. We often see newbies making posts in very old posts and necro-bumping them without even realizing that they are old threads probably because they don't see the date or time of the opening post before making a post themselves, and if they can do that, they can surely think what they are reading is recent and this can either be misleading or confusing sometimes.
It's important for newbies, or even for old members, to make sure that they are reading updated posts and data and when they read something, they should always check the data from another source just to make sure that it is true and correct and there is nothing fabricated in it.
It's a good thing to increase your knowledge only towards the positive side because false information reduces your knowledge.
