What's the need to always being 100% right. There are very few situations where there is a 100% right solution. Most are optimized 80-90% for a particular problem set. Indicating that "within our context, we believe this is the best solution" goes a long way in creating that opportunity for discussion and deeper understand of either gaps in the context for the problem, or adjacent problems that may leverage the work.

Wanting your blog to go through an editor isn't about needing to be right; it's a "defence against the dark arts" of paparazzi quoting your words out-of-context with the intent of getting you pilloried by the Internet.
