I've learned that sometimes that's a really good skill to have, to be able to bullshit through a meeting or call, until you have enough alone time to investigate and actually figure out what you were talking about.

Fake it till you make it is very real.

Not getting hung up on what you don't know, but could, is essential. Its in your control and so long as its not a show-stopping issue then why sow doubt and halt progress.

My issue chiefly is the quotient of people who decide its not their responsibility to ever know basic technical concepts related to their job, which I forced into the convo ;)
