Rashi's greatness

I've read Parshas Toldos with Rashi dozens of times, but this year I was struck by one particular Rashi that truly reflects a great person who demonstrates absolute intellectual honesty in his presentation. Can you guess which comment I mean?

Rashi's comment on  28:5

וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח יִצְחָק֙ אֶת־יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ פַּדֶּ֣נָֽה אֲרָ֑ם אֶל־לָבָ֤ן בֶּן־בְּתוּאֵל֙ הָֽאֲרַמִּ֔י אֲחִ֣י רִבְקָ֔ה אֵ֥ם יַֽעֲקֹ֖ב וְעֵשָֽׂו is : אם יעקב ועשו: איני יודע מה מלמדנו: Rashi could easily have just not said anything on the pasuk if had no insight to share, but he came out saying, there must be something going on here with the apparent redundancy of telling us what we already know about Rivka bein ghe mother of Yaakov and Esav,  but he has not hit on an answer. That's absolute humility and honesty. Rashi does this again in Parshas Vayishlach on 35:13 במקום אשר דבר אתו: איני יודע מה מלמדנו (side note: I had noted this on Shabbos in my own Chumash and went to look for it online to easily copy it over. I was puzzled at first b/c the Chabad version post the Rashi under pasuk 14 rather than 13.) The exemplar of linking greatness with humility is none other than Hashem Himself, as it says in Megilla 31a: אמר ר' יוחנן כל מקום שאתה מוצא גבורתו של הקב"ה אתה מוצא ענוותנותו דבר זה כתוב בתורה ושנוי בנביאים ומשולש בכתובים Having mentioned the haftara read on Yom Kippur, the Gemara cites that which Rabbi Yoḥanan said: Wherever you find a reference in the Bible to the might of the Holy One, Blessed be He, you also find a reference to His humility adjacent to it. Evidence of this fact is written in the Torah, repeated in the Prophets, and stated a third time in the Writings.,
