The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything,"or so says Milan Kundera in an interview with Philip Roth in Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.
Really, I couldn't agree more. The converse of this, I suppose, is that those who admit a lack of knowledge are "smart." Taking this a step further, the more we admittedly do not know, the smarter we are (math, gotta love it).
Kundera elaborates . . .
"It seems to me that all over the world people nowadays prefer to judge rather than understand, to answer rather than ask."
