   Doesn't matter if they know.  You know.  Actually they have the same   
   problem you do.  They must learn how to know good information and   
   learn that.  It is not necessary that they learn it from you.   
      
   But if they know that, and you know that, they won't have any quarrel   
   with you.  On the other hand, they might disagree with you.  That   
   happens all the time to everybody.  If they do disagree you get to   
   decide if that matters.  They will do the same for themselves.
