That reminds me of the poem
Knows and Knows Not (variations)
He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him.
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep; wake him.
He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man; follow him.

"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. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and
other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult
ones." - U.S.
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
