You've prolly all seen this, but it is a classic piece of gobshite:

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know. "

Makes perfect sense! Of course, the problem with it is that he fails to address the fourth category in his division of knowledge: the unknown knowns, things you know but don't know you know.

what about that shit you think you don't know but you do know that you might know it, but you have no idea that its possible to know that you can know what it is you think you don't know

he knows everything about nothing, and not too much about that, and if you know someone who knows what he knows then you must know Henry's Cat.
