My biggest problem with the educational system lies precisely in that it forces students to squeeze explanations out of subject matters and shames them for withholding judgment, for uttering the “I don’t know.”
Do not allow yourself to be forced into giving an causal explanation. Use the "I don't know" argument as often as possible.
"What do you think about how Trump handled COVID?"
"I don't know. Maybe he could have done better, maybe he could have done worse. It's not my job to know."
