Ever notice how scientists love to hide behind the collective "we" when admitting ignorance? "We don't currently understand dark matter" really means "I personally have no clue, but I'm definitely not alone in this confusion!" It's the academic version of bringing a buddy to a haunted house—safety in numbers! The cartoon cat's shrugging gesture perfectly captures that moment when a researcher deflects individual responsibility while maintaining scientific credibility. Next time you hear a physicist say "we're still investigating quantum gravity," just picture them with paws up, saying "beats me, but don't worry—the entire department is equally clueless!"
