What’s your opinion of self-righteous investors?

Have you ever read a post on one of these forums saying something like, “I would never invest in California/Detroit because it is a horrible place to invest.” Or “C-class neighborhoods only look good on paper but you can’t make money with them.” Or “Real estate syndication is the only true, pure way of investing passively in real estate.”

Without naming names, what is the most absurd, self-righteous real estate advice that you have ever heard on BiggerPockets or otherwise? For those slightly more introspective, what is the most self-righteous real estate advice that you have ever given?

There used to be a member on bigger pockets that wrote blogs with controversial subjects, constantly claiming you can't make money with a D-class rentals. Of course, that's not true. He's a very smart person but I found it intellectually dishonest to ignore all the landlords that have become millionaires through D-Class properties. why not explain the positives in negatives and let individuals make up their own minds or learn through their own experience?
