That's "I'm wither uninterested or unable to speak up to ask for information." It's still a political statement.

Even if we asked for more information, you are assuming, or mandating, that we process it in real time, which is really difficult for those of normal intelligence. Also, being told something is completely different from having the life experience as context. Eg I could guess what it’s like to be a Uighur living in Guangzhou, I could even ask some questions, but really I still wouldn’t know enough to talk meaningfully about it.
