"Master, what is knowledge?"

"When you know a thing, to know that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to know that you do not know it -- this is knowledge."

I like this one better :-)

Is it even possible to know if there are more known unknowns than unknown unknowns?

I think it is (should be) as simple as:

1) Being scrupulously honest with oneself.

2) Re-examining cached thoughts and opinions when using them.
