You know when people go around saying they know the meaning of life (I was one a few years ago). They are allways lying. And here's why.
To understand the meaning of life, you have to attain the deepest state of consciousness that is possible. It's only from here that your mind is open to the infinite wonders of life. And from here you will never know that you know the meaning of life, because as with everything you want; when you have it you don't care. If you understood the meaning of life, it would suddenly become "Meaningless to you". IE: When you have finally got what you wish for, you won't care anymore.
Therefore, you would not feel the need to rush around telling people "I have the answer".
The people who do go around saying "I know the meaning of life", may have simply experienced a deeper state of consciousness that provides them with bursts of realisation about life. But then months down the line they'll realise deeper and deeper things about life, then look back on their past realisations and think "I didn't reall know shit back then".
