He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is

Summary

This quote suggests that an individual who answers every question they are asked must lack knowledge or understanding. Their readiness to respond may stem from a lack of awareness of their own limitations or a desire to appear knowledgeable. The quote implies that true wisdom involves recognizing when one does not have the answers, and knowing when to seek more information rather than providing uninformed or incorrect responses.
