@sugimoto_kei: Perhaps in our time, knowledge is social hierarchy. So, to frankly say “I don’t understand…” about something important is taken as an expression of weakness/inefficiency. By the individual more than by anyone else. This is not an intellectual attitude. Intellectual inquiry starts with Admit you don’t know what you don’t know.
It’s lame that people who think the amount of knowledge is a social pecking order don’t realize Computers are overwhelming.
relevance - Afraid to say, “I don’t know.” - Updating knowledge is more burdensome than learning new things.
