It depends on the situation.

If I know I'm correct (I'm a subject matter expert in the field I work in), I generally don't preface my comments.

But in related fields, where my knowledge is less sure, I do.

It can really get difficult, when someone else is talking out their arse, but sounding confident. There are situations where it is unprofessional, to not correct the course of the conversation.
