True. But if he has to admit ignorance too often, he cannot be
trusted.

As long as it really isn't every question.
My physics teacher willingly admitted not knowing many things, but he made
damn sure he looked up the answer for the next lesson. I respected and
trusted him for that. I knew (believed) that if he told me something then
it was correct.

Fair enough. And when he told you something, you believed him. That's
what I mean by authority.

Yes, he needn't know about what happened at the student's party last
Friday, does he? ;-)

Not necessarily.

So when you advertise a tour around Paris for ¤300 euro, you don't
consider that a commercial attempt to make money?

I don't advertise.

Chair what chair?

You are in a tiny room crammed with stale McD packaging.
There is no furniture.
There is a microwave on top of a server.
There is a pile of expensive cameras.
A whiff of rotting food hangs in the air.
From a corner comes the noise of indigestion and gentle snoring.
now continue

I stole the cameras, (I'll go and sell them at Bièvres).

I take water and spill it over the cooking plate for deep-frozen steaks
(it heats up 180 C). Vapour spreads within the kitchen. I lock the
emergency doors and have one of the wandering mice eating the key. And I
jump into the Métro.

You've played this game before.... ;-)

I couldn't work out if it was Adventure or D&D.
