In practice I find that anything I say tends to lose its nuance as it spreads, so I’ve moved towards saying fewer things that require nuance. If I said “X might be a good resource to learn from but I don’t really know”, I would only be a little surprised to hear a complaint in the future of the form “I deeply read X for two months because Rohin recommended it, but I still can’t understand this deep RL paper”.
Hum, I did not think about that. It makes more sense to me now why you don’t want to point people towards specific things. I still believe the result will be net positive if the right caveat are in place (then it’s the other’s fault for misinterpreting your comment), but that’s indeed assuming that the resource/concept is good/important and you’re confident in that.
