Not really.
I'm a big fan of openness and honesty - as long as one tempers it with emotional intelligence. These are the keys to good relationships of all kinds.
However, here, our avatars confer anonymity - so, while we can get the flavor of a person from their tone, we don't really know exactly how honest they are.
We would need to get to know the person privately to get a better idea -- and even then there's the possibility that some fishers are highly skilled.
Openness tempered with sensible caution - balance: these seem appropriate to me.

@SteelHands Look it up. It's real. And it's been proven to be a better predictor of success in both relationships and work than IQ.

@hartfire Success is a relative term. If someone defines marriage as getting married and getting divorced and remarried over and again it's very different from being wed to the same person for life.
Likewise. A business can be successfully begun or a career commenced, but retirement or divestiture might not be the definition of success in every case.
The problem thinking emotionally is that illogical statements taste very good in the mouth of an emotional person but grow bitter in their guts later on.
