I have noted the proliferation of digital recording devices hits the "Stupid" button in many peoples pysches and causes them to be indiscreet and broadcast things which should either kept among true confidants or left unsaid.
As an example I do not like Glocks or polymer or anything other than steel frame pistols. There is no reason for me to go on and one-and bore people, and aggravate. and cause dissension, ill feeling, etc. I don't like them, I will not buy one (though you can always give me one), when somewhat asks me what to recommend I always suggest a steel frame.
