When I hear people say ‘I don’t know’, my probing mind doesn’t stop there because I think it could mean different things:

I don't have enough information to give an informed opinion on this. 

I haven't thought about this well enough to give my opinion. 

I know what the answer is but I'm not comfortable talking about this. 

Many times when I hear people frequently say I don’t know,  I often stop to ask what they mean or wonder if going a step further would be a better response.
