"It is harder to conceal ignorance than to acquire knowledge"

- Arnold H. Glasow

About this Quote

This quote by Arnold H. Glasow talks to the problem of concealing one's lack of knowledge. It indicates that it is simpler to find out something than it is to pretend to understand something that one does not. This is because understanding is something that is acquired through study and experience, and it is tough to fake. On the other hand, ignorance is something that is easy to conceal, as one can simply avoid discussing a subject or feign understanding. However, this is just a momentary solution, as ultimately the fact will be exposed. Therefore, it is better to invest the time and effort into obtaining knowledge than to try to conceal one's ignorance.
