I've also run into this myself in publishing my own blog posts. I had this burning need to add caveats and write very defensibly because the fear in the back of my head of being "well, actually..."d.

In the end, I still pushed them out and they made the rounds with positive feedback, but it definitely took way longer to write than I thought. I know that's probably not a very healthy way of going about it, and a big part of it in my opinion has to do with how it's too easy to issue ego-boosting corrections.
