When I don’t know! makes you smarter

A lot of people seem to be afraid to say “I don’t know” / “I’m not sure”.

Also, asking questions like “Would you prefer…?”.

To me, this is a sign of strength, not weakness.

I think more people should say, “I don’t know!” and set themselves open to finding out new things rather than appearing to be omniscient.
