Great article. I'm a big fan of admitting I'm not familiar with something!
It's scary - but it's so much better than actually knowing something and having your expertise dismissed because you've already blown your credibility.
Looked at another way, I suppose my readiness to admit I don't know things is slightly egotistical: when I say I know something well, I want motherf----- to believe me.
Being up front about what you don't know well is kind of the price you have to pay... well, that and actually knowing stuff in other areas.
