If you are still working on ``I don't know'' then I haven't asked ``why''
enough, or you are evading that the answer is unknowable. Saying ``I don't
know'' doesn't automatically get you off the hook -- the next question is
``Why don't you know?'' and if I can't get you to ``It is impossible to
know the reason for that'' at some point, then I am doing a lousy job
of arguing. Patient people would not shout, perhaps, but I know 2
five year olds fairly well. They are adept at ``why?'' and sooner or
later drive *everybody* up the wall.
