It's easy to be right. But to be right is not the same as being useful.

"Easy to be right"?? Good to know. But why isn't everyone doing it, then?

Maybe you have a useful idea on regulating attention-sucking? Please share.

Everyone is doing it. At the pub after work. They take turns being right about politics, being right about sports, being right about their boss, being right about the state of society and Susan the receptionist. They're spot-on right about her.

And if they skip the pub, they take out their phones and go being right online on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and Hacker News.

He/she probably meant "its easier to point a real problem than to find a real, stable solution"
That's what I meant.
