Things that we know that we don't know we know? I run into these all the time... last night, for example, I realized that I knew the English word for the little plastic cylinders at the end of a shoelace. (I discovered this when someone asked me what an 'aglet' was.) I'd had no idea.
Yes but as soon as you thought of it it becomes a known known :)
True, much as unknown unknowns become known unknowns.
That said, I can infer from how often I come across them (converting them in the process) that there's a large store of them remaining unconverted.
