Couldn't agree more.

I think the missing piece of the equation is transparency. Just be honest about where you're at. You can still talk about topics you're not an expert in, but there's a right way to go about it and a wrong way. Bring it up in a way that highlights your lack of experience, something like "I've only recently started using [tool x], but something that really stands out to me is..."

I think honesty is the line that separates the hypocrites from the rest.
