Its what I call the '21st century disease'. It seems almost everyone has lost 
the ability to say 'I dont know, but lets find out'. I have been fed all 
sorts of BS, from salesmen in particular, simply because they are not willing 
to admit that they dont know. People have to realise that its OK not to know, 
noone can know everything, and the ability to effectively research and 
resolve a problem is much more useful than the ability to ramble incoherently 
about topics you know nothing about.
