A mark of intelligence is the ability to be objective about what you do and don't know. If I don't understand something, I don't jump down someone's throat based on the limited information I have and try to extrapolate from there. I try to learn more about the issue, listen to experts, evaluate the merits of their argument to the best of my ability, and form an opinion.
- brenschluss 11y agoI agree. But I'd also say that it requires a bit of domain knowledge to know what you don't know. That is to say: I know what I don't know in the fields that I study/practice in. I don't know what I don't know about the fields I don't.
