When you admit to not knowing how a crucial part of your theory works, it's impossible for me to know your theory, because you don't even know it.
Don't get me wrong. It's important, and good, to say "I don't know". However, that one moment of intellectual humility, however praise-worthy, gets drowned out by the unearned certainty you have in the rest of your theory, even insulting folks on this list for holding alternative positions to yours. So the problem isn't in saying "I don't know". It's in insisting you're right even when you know you don't know.
