maybe i didnt understand you post but... i'll try and answer it.
First of all, i never claim anything about my car unless i know something for a fact. For example, i would never claim to have X amount of HP if i didnt know for sure. Secondly, i'm not sure how closely you've looked over this site, but people here are probably the most honest and straight forward you'll ever meet. If they dont know something, they will point you in the right direction to someone who does. If they do know, they will take the time to explain it to you, even if you ask 10 times. I havent seen anyone here make any comments pertaining to "bench racing" as you call it. Guys here know better than to try and do that stuff here, why? because the entire board is full of knowledgable car guys that can spot BS from a mile away.
I think you talked about people making claims about knowledge or certain products they dont have any first hand experience with... that is not "bench racing"... thats sharing opinions or experiences with others about a product or how to do something. it isnt bragging or trying to be the dominant robin in the group puffing out its chest trying to impress the girl birds. Its passing on information that is useful.
I may have read your post wrong, but thats the impression that i got.
