      I think it’s more admirable to admit when you don’t know something than it is to just make up some obviously wrong bullshit.

      Would you feel the same way about whether it was safe to eat a mushroom found in the woods?

      Did you just repeat the comics punchline? The one being mocked for being the obviously wrong answer, who sounds like an idiot for thinking the wrong answer has value for the only merit of just being an answer?

      Did you want to reread the comic again?

      Being too lazy and stupid to find the real answer is not more admirable than doubting an easy answer from a fool.
