I may have known at one time that I knew that, but it was a known that had become unknown by the time I posted it. Then again, I should probably have known.

This was unknown until the time that it was made known, and so in being an unknown unknown was in fact a known that was unknown by those that should have known?

Well, there are knowns and there are unknowns, and then there are the things you didn't actually know, yet somehow intuitively "know" are true. Now, I don't know for sure, but I think it possible that, though it might have been an unknown unknown (or was it an unknown known? Make a note to check on that,) I could quite well have "known" something without actually knowing that I had known about it, beforehand.

You know?

So what was previously said to be an unknown unknown may in fact have been known at the time it was thought to have been unknown and therefore have either been an unknown known or a known unknown - know what I mean?
