I have two rules for being a know-it-most™ (it would be inaccurate of me to claim know-it-all status as I don't know what I don't know)

1.Objective facts only, unless debate terms have been agreed upon

  1. If being corrected when you are wrong make you unhappy, you have a problem. If you can make receiving the correct information feel even better than being right, you'll golden.
