It depends.

To borrow from the wording of your example, it depends upon how idiotic the piece of information presented by the family member is.

Idiocy really isn't lessened by the identity of the bearer. And at times, it's actually even more offensive when presented by a friend/family member, I think subconsciously I hope they'd be smarter than a random person on the internet.

Well, I probably just hope that's the case, rationally I know better than to think/believe that.
