When we teach other people something we take on a responsibility. I know responsibility is not a popular word these days but it's true. We are responsible to make sure our material is of solid quality. I personally feel nowhere close to the great honor of providing knowledge despite many years of study.
Sure I could perhaps share some selected things but I feel that is too great burden to act as an authority. Of course life isn't perfect and sometimes we must rely on less than ideal material hastily to meet the demands placed upon us or even unfortunately we find ourselves in the position of a teacher prematurely. We should strive to reduce amount of bad habits and spaghetti code made by beginners who take in dubious courses.
