@drahflow@infosec.exchange @splitbrain@fedi.splitbrain.org There’s also a meaningful difference between
• Unlabeled guesses/slop - Most people hate this
• Labeled guesses/slop - Most people seem to dislike this, but at least it lets them know they can ignore unless they have nothing better
• Reasoning through a situation you’ve never encountered based on your understanding of the parts involved - Most people seem to appreciate this, especially if you explain the thought process
Somebody recently asked about an error I’ve never seen in a tool I’m familiar with. Several others posted troubleshooting steps in one direction (including some labeled slop), and I shared my suspicion in another. I was right in spite of “guessing”.
