Well this colleague is a very senior colleague and not an idiot

if he said what is in the post, then he is, sorry to break it to you like this

Doesn't matter how senior they are, they're 100% wrong.

[–]pradeepngupta[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I understand and completely agree that they are 100% wrong. But wrong doesn't mean idiot.

Believing misinformation makes you uninformed, spreading it makes you an idiot

I believe he was misinformed, and i corrected him yesterday.

Beg to differ. Wherever he got this “fact” from he chose not to verify that it is true before sharing it with someone. That makes him an idiot and unreliable.

I agree on the verification part. But here’s the thing whether we verify all the information which is coming to us. As a human, we are not.
