Is it better to say something wrong confidently while misleading people or to
admit that you are not sure and ask for other opinions?

More important than being confident, prognosticators should be as correct
as possible!

Of course it is also Jerry's responsibility to recognize the contributions of
others in his talk, if they are significant.

P.S.  Why can't the hate mail on the net stop so that we could actually learn
something?  At times we seem to forget that humans are receiving the messages that
we send.
