I’ve never heard of this before. This is completely new to me. I don’t understand. No clue, really! I don’t know.

Admitting you don’t know is OK. More than OK, it’s healthy.
Admit you don’t know, and:

- Your manager more accurately sees risks;
Not knowing is temporary, and will not be punished. Learning shows growth, and should be rewarded.
