What's most interesting about this, I think, is people's unwillingness to admit they don't know something. No one wants to look stupid, or ignorant, or uneducated, even in front of complete strangers. I'm certainly guilty of this, I suspect most of us are.

I freely admit ignorance to people I know even slightly well; they already know I'm a certain level of intelligence, so I don't worry as much about one contradictory data pt. By contrast, in front of strangers, the only thing they'll know about me is my ignorance in that situation.
