But isn't the portion you know again an expression?

Yes, It can be. A simple example could be like

... + deviceA * inpB + ...

and the only thing I know is deviceA * inpB occours as
part of the expression or only deviceA in some cases.
There is no information about the remaining number of
operands and type of operators involved in the expression.

Thanks
Ajay
