If you accept statements without asking questions how can you be certain that your understanding matches the intentions of the speaker?

Don't you need clarification/in-depth discussion?  When is what appears on the surface ever all there is to anything? When is the tip of the iceberg representative of all that lies below the surface?  Do you always try to get to the bottom of things or is that a waste of time because when you trust the speaker you have no reason to pursue/investigate/research/confirm?
