You don't get caught if you're good at it. Obviously you can't be dead wrong, but if you have some shades of right in your answer you'll always be ok, as long as you have the confidence in your tone to go with.
I really can't speak for other jobs, but in my department, if I answer "I dunno" or "I'll get back to you" the client really starts to wonder why he's paying me thousands of dollars. The consultant is supposed to know everything, and make no mistakes. It's unreasonable, but no one ever said clients were reasonable.
