Exactly. Anybody who earnestly tries to be informed will realize that there are limits to what they know and subjects for which they are not [yet] informed. There needs to be room for people to say "I'm not informed on that issue, so I don't have an opinion."

I told a person who was collecting signatures to get a proposition on Nov's ballot, almost word for word your italics.

Their response was "I get paid per signature, will you sign it so I can make more money?"

My response, "That's an even worse reason, are you telling me someone buying this prop its way into the ballot?" He left at this point.
