I’m not surprised by your observation. Considering your reputation within our group, things stop at Known Knowns since you know all that’s to be known - ever. 😜

For lesser mortals like many of us, Unknown Knowns are the unanswered questions within the purview of Knowns. We know that Amitabh Bachchan is a fantastic actor. What we don’t know within that purview is what forces him to incorporate a β€˜haiiin’ in his dialogues.

In corporate world the known unknown matrix is used quite often but least used within it is ' Unknown Knowns ' which you rightly identified and backed with many interesting examples. It was a different and interesting reading experience.

Hmm…initially it was a bit confusing. But as I started reading the rest of the article things started getting clearer and of course the examples you gave towards the end helped in understanding the Known Unknowns. It’s was a good read πŸ‘

Guess I confused you enough that you still don’t know whether my post was about Known Unknowns or Unknown Knowns. 😜
