Problem is, you can only know you are not properly informed by learning at least a bit about something. Or the other way around: the more you specialise in a field the more you learn how little you know.
It's pretty easy to know if you've spent a lot of time looking into a topic or not. If your knowledge consists of watching a YouTube video from a non-expert or picking things up passively, it's probably better to stay quiet.
You can say least know when you obviously don't know anything useful about a subject.
Yes, you may unwittingly be misinformed, but I feel this message is for people that feel the need to look important and smart by interjecting on scenarios they have no business interjecting about. Particularly in my work there are folks that do that to gun for promotions.
