If you have a library anywhere nearby, you don't need to worry about purchasing and selling individual books. Over they years they have gotten even more lenient with long loan periods, online renewals, mostly eliminated late fees, and (depending on where you live) returns at any library location within a regional system.

Contacts might be fine, but I don't know of any company that would allow an employee to sync work email messages and attachments to an unsanctioned third party, let alone retain access after termination.

Often the people who know the limits of their knowledge overcompensate for it when speaking with others. There's a lot of "I think", "it should", "I may be wrong" and other noncommittal hedging to cover the slimmest of chances and be on the safe side. It goes beyond simply conveying the known risks/probabilities clearly and objectively.

To someone in the same domain, all of those caveats are commonly accepted/implied, so they become tiresome and muddy the points being made.

To someone outside the domain, it unnecessarily erodes confidence in the supposed domain-expert speaker's abilities and recommendations. It's even worse when put up against someone else does speak with confidence. I've lost count how many times I've seen that leading to stakeholders accepting a suboptimal solution.
