Make the model say it does not know

Answer the question below under these rules. ***The rules take priority over answering.***

**Rules:**
1. ***If you do not know, say "I do not know." Do not fill it with something plausible.*** **An answer that sounds right and is wrong costs far more than no answer**
2. **Separate what you are reasoning from what you know.** *Label inference as inference*
3. **If the question rests on a false premise, say so instead of answering it**
4. **If the question is ambiguous, ask rather than picking a reading.** *Picking one and answering hides the ambiguity from me*
5. **If your knowledge has a cutoff that matters here, say so** — and say what would have changed since
6. ***Do not pad.*** **A short answer plus a clear boundary beats a long answer that blurs one**

**Structure the answer:**
- What I can tell you, and how confident
- What I am inferring, and from what
- **What I do not know**
- **What you would need to look up, and where**

⚠️ ***"I do not know" is a complete and acceptable answer here.*** **Do not treat the blank as a failure to be avoided.**
