So what you are saying is that 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.
Which actually, is true
Mmmm... yes and no.
I'm pointing to the contradictory nature of human perception, in that we tell ourselves the things we perceive are 'real' and therefore amenable to understanding (known knowns, if you like), but they might very well not be real at all. That's the kind of thing scientists and DAC designers generally don't like to contemplate and/or dismiss as nonsense, but I am not one of them.
In this experience of life that I am perceiving, there appears to be a superb DAC by the name of DAVE, and it's design appears to be based upon 'real' understandings by a 'real' person (and a very talented and experienced person, at that), but maybe these things that I'm perceiving are just figments of my imagination that I a may be mistakenly perceiving as 'real'.
....and now back to our scheduled programming (sorry for the OT)
