想象力和知识

　在任何学术或者职业领域中，承认我们知识和理解的不足同获取新的知识同等重要。

1. On the one hand, the speaker’s assertion accords with the everyday experience of working professionals.

2. Moreover, additional knowledge we gain by collecting more information often diminishes—sometimes to the point where marginal gains turn to marginal losses.

3. On the other hand, the speaker’s assertion seems self-contradictory, for how can we know the limits of our knowledge until we’ve thoroughly tested those limits through exhaustive empirical observation—that is, by acquiring facts and information.
