Good point. To avoid being wrong, one may restrict himself to write about common accepted things, like 2+2=4. What is boring.
But I will say something very controversial. Like “faster rotating planets are warmer than slowly rotating, everything else equal”. Most people “know” it is the other way around. Then I will try to decompose this statement to some well known and thus boring facts.
Oh, don’t get me wrong (no pun intended) - I don’t think it’s a bad thing to be frequently wrong. It’s only bad to a) refuse to change your opinion and b) not realize you’re wrong.

Risky strategy I know.
