Your comments resonate with me about a situation I see in business situations. If you ask someone, "Can you do [task]?" the most common responses are some variations on "yes, I can" or "no, I can't." Very rarely do I hear, "I'm not sure" or "I dn't know." It seems that owning up to an indeterminate state --whether it is about doing a task or listening to a story without picking a role-- is a difficult thing for people to do.
