Assuming that you know the answer is quicker and involves less effort.
If you are in a technical role, assumption allows you to rest on your laurells without resorting to checking. If you are in a managrial role, assumption excuses you from executing your assigned duties.
In either case, you are guilty of commiting an epic fail. I sincerely hope that your immediate superior disapproves of the pornography you're trying to hide from everyone in an extremely lame fashion.
If you are a true professional, you should be dedicated to correctness, completeness and inclusion at all times. Else, you are a hack - please move to the back of the queue.
It is not a sign of weakness, stupidity, admission or surrender. You can disguise it as having authority over a person or group of people, as checking the correctness of other people's work or having your lowers validate your authority. Better yet, you could be truthful and open and state that you want to know what people think so that discussion and debate allows everyone to arrive at an answer facilitated by leveraging and recognising the collective knowledge, experience, intelligence and insight affored to you by the people who have chosen to work with you.
If you're not talking to the people you work with, either move on or get with the program.
