Simplified Meaning:
When someone quickly says "I don't know" in response to a question, it shows they are honest and not pretending to have all the answers. It can be refreshing and trustworthy because they admit their limitations. For example, if a student asks a teacher a tough question and the teacher says, "I don't know, but I'll find out," the teacher is being truthful and shows they are willing to learn. This behavior builds trust and respect. By admitting what you don’t know, you open up opportunities to learn and grow, instead of giving incorrect information or pretending to know everything.
