Aside from the fact that I did not understand that "talk like a woman" thing, is the author advising us to stop the long-running advice of "speak precisely" with "say anything, even if you are not sure' with the only caveat being to let people know when you aren't certain of something?

That's like a public speaker telling me to say "uuhh..." in between my phrases!
