"My main point is, to reiterate, that beginners need to read everything critically; research what you read and/or seek out clarification from other seeming experts."
To put it in my own words:
Authors need to be careful not to spread incorrect information, especially in beginner focused material. Readers need to consume with a healthy level of skepticism, and should validate with reputable sources.
