It\\\'s not all black and white, just because Marshall was \\\"in the wrong\\\" to bring up San Francisco doesn\\\'t mean Lily was \\\"in the right,\\\" nor does it mean his attempt to become a judge was wrong. It\\\'s even repeatedly said that when it comes to the logical choice for the family Marshall had the better argument. The fact they chose Rome in the end doesn\\\'t mean Marshall was wrong, but that it was a decision made as a couple (which is key) that they were happy with, which required knowledge of changing circumstances, ie Lily\\\'s pregnancy.

The only thing the InformedWrongness would apply to is \\\'\\\'just\\\'\\\' the San Francisco guilt trip, but I think even that is pretty weak because, ignoring the Hatedom Lily has, taking that scene by itself it is a cold thing for a spouse to bring up. In fact I would be disappointed if people think that is perfectly acceptable behavior in a marriage.

I would add that it was shown Marshall was just trying to win the argument (go nuclear with a low blow), not legitimately questioning Lily\\\'s devotion to their family. The fact some fans cheered him on is covered by UnintentionallyUnsympathetic, but doesn\\\'t really fall under InformedWrongness.
