Read the sample sentence and notice how 未必…… guides the meaning: A 未必 B.
未必 is placed before the part that the speaker does not fully accept. It does not mean a direct “no”; it means the result is uncertain or not always true. It is often used to challenge assumptions such as expensive equals good or more equals better. Do not combine it carelessly with another negative word. Compared with 不一定, 未必 is slightly more written and often sounds more thoughtful or argumentative.
