With respect Alfredo, you would probably be more accurate to say something like "I can't really comment on Pick because I haven't got the faintest idea of what it is really and I'm not interested in discussing it.". If you did say something like this instead then people couldn't accuse you of being both ignorant and arrogant - just ignorant, and we're all of us ignorant about some things more than others. There's certainly no shame in that.
