The allusion in the paragraph is "Pandora's box." This is a reference to Greek mythology, where Pandora was given a box and told not to open it. However, her curiosity got the better of her, and she opened it, releasing all the troubles and evils of the world. In this context, it is used metaphorically to warn against answering every question, as it may lead to more complications or delays.
