Recognising weaknesses is part of prepping.
The problem with the list is that I could say No to every question on your list and still be better prepared than someone that says yes to them all. I'm just better prepared for something different.
I'm taking your point to mean that there are a lot of people offering advice, myself included, that have no or very little practical experience of what they are advising. That is partly becuse we are not allowed to test many of the ideas we have for legal reasons and we don't have to such water from pools of cow poo so why should we take the chance.
I make my own mind up about what advice I am given. Does it make sense? Who is saying it and what is my views on his previous advice some of which I have experience of? From that I can investigate further if I want to and learn more.
I commented on this on the main site. We need to point out bad advice as much as good advice but bear in mind it depends very much on the environment as well.
