Who doesn't check moons? seriously?

which one of those 17 moons do you pick when pursuing someone?
He's right, if you're in an agile ship (POS tackle) moons are much safer than planets or belts, if there is just 1-2 moons, yeah sure you could check it but its not the regular case.

No it IS bad advice. While he's probably safe enough in low-sec warping to a moon it develops bad habits which WILL get you killed (eventually) in null-sec where the approaches to many POS are heavily bubbled.

tbh you have no clue. In 4 years of constant pvp in 0.0, I've hardly seen randomly bubbled POS, this kind of risk is not even worth mention - getting bumped by a roid in belt (even at 100) and tackled by a foe is much more likely to happen than getting killed by POS. Warp to moon, if there is a hostile POS just warp to next object from there which is in your general direction -> you wont even have to completely realign and hence will have a quick warp off. Make safes in mid warp, use them afterwards.

Yea right up until you screw up slightly and die to a well fit POS.

You have the be dumb as a brick to get tackled by a POS. Point batteries literally have scan resolutions worse than dreadnoughts.

If you are within 100km or less you can simply right click and use the look at option.

Your mistake was waiting for him to show up. He can see your ship entering warp and see almost exactly where you went.
