Smart people will tell you to find an Expert; dumb people will always have an answer.

@RickiTarr Whenever I ask a difficult technical question to someone, and they say “I don’t know”

I immediately trust them a bit more

@slothrop @RickiTarr when they say, "Let's find out," I get excited.
@RickiTarr was it Bertrand Russell who said that the fool is certain and the intelligent are full of doubts?

@kimlockhartga

I'm going to assume that, by extension, I'm intelligent because I am so very full of doubt

Info-seeker: "I wast told to go find you"
Me: "I'm not an expert, I just know stuff about "
@RickiTarr Except for lawyers who always say “it depends”.

Me when someone asks me what something means in my language.

@RickiTarr What's the best way to find an expert?

@RickiTarr There are two doors and two guards. One will always have an answer, the other one will tell you to ask an expert. You may ask one question.
@RickiTarr my wife is an attorney, and I know what answer she will give you if you ask her a legal question. "It depends."
@RickiTarr
My son used to call Mom the Architect as his last ditch bar trivia expert. But I have not had a call in years. He now depends on his Wife, who is also an Architect. 😊
@RickiTarr Morons, dunces, and the gop will never say "I don''t know". They always have a subversive plan like project 2025.
@RickiTarr
As an addendum to this:
I've been telling people where to get reliable information for years...
And now, quite accidentally, I've become a subject matter expert.
Life is too weird.
