The illusion of explanatory depth may stop us at just about the right level of understanding, one that enables us to know how to get more information from others when we really need it without being overwhelmed. It would perhaps be better if we recognized the limits our own explanatory ability, but there may be some adaptive value of those limits as well.
解释深度错觉也许会让我们止步于恰当的理解水平，在这一水平上，我们知道如何在确实需要更多信息的时候从其他人那里得到而又并不让大量信息所吞没。如果我们认识到我们自身的解释性能力局限可能更好，但是，那些局限中也包含适应性的价值。
