That 'helpful' comment about slowing down my oven ruined 4 dozen cookies

Last weekend I posted a photo of my slightly burnt batch in a baking group and some guy commented that I should drop the temp by 25 degrees, so I tried it for a big cookie order and every single one came out raw in the middle. Turns out my oven runs cold, not hot, so the advice was backwards for my setup. Has anyone else followed a confident commenter's tip and totally wrecked a recipe because they didn't check their own equipment first?

Blame your oven, not the commenter who couldn't know your gear.
