It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know

Summary

This quote highlights the phenomenon of offering solutions without fully understanding the complexity of a problem. When someone lacks in-depth knowledge about a problem, they may overlook crucial details and therefore propose oversimplified or impractical solutions. The quote implies that limited information can create a false sense of confidence, making it easier to make general assumptions and avoid the challenges that come with a deep understanding of the problem. It serves as a reminder that tackling complex issues requires a thorough comprehension and analysis before suggesting viable solutions.
