This sounds like an urban myth.

Do you have any rational criteria for sorting out the signal from the noise?

i.e. what is your criteria for declaring something significantly unsual true vs myth?

What evidence do you have that it is inherently better for you to say somethings not true when it actually is true vs to say something is true when it's not?

Does it matter to you whether you tend to err more on one side or the other when the stakes are higher?

And what about when the stakes are eternal?
