In my (personal) experience, mathematicians have absolutely no difficulty to let their colleagues know when they don’t understand a concept. It seems quite normal to reach your max level of abstraction in the field.
In physics, it can be seen as a weakness sometimes. And some people will pretend they always understand everything.
