this is more true today than it ever was before. With new advances come new problems which may take a while to manifest themselves. Not a big deal if it's a fashion faux-pas because I can wear it out gardening or painting but critical when it comes to expensive electronics and cameras
...of course I make mistakes, like anyone else! Like the last time, in 2003, when I thought I was wrong!
