Don't know, I prefer Rumsfeld, "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. These are things we do not know we don’t know."

Amazing.

I am pretty sure i realized what you said with the quote before.
However, i was unable to say that sentence. English is not my native language, so please bear that in mind when i say it is a tongue-twister (for me).

Wow, I missed all the action. I was too busy learning manual targeting.

Oh, too bad, it was fun watching that poor fellow with his pressures and blurb showing his self-confidence filling his lack of knowledge. Give him a couple of years to get older, and learn basic physics... hydrostatics is not a difficult topic, and can even be "interesting" when it comes to Bernoulli's principle affecting two adjacent mass bodies... like two ships passing each other too closely, or a person to close to a driving train or truck.

Jeez......

I just took a quick look (I don't want to spend the time to read all that).

But it looks almost as silly as a political debate.
