And the one that can’t be named?

Is there a reason you can't tell us which one?

trasz | karma 2810 | avg karma 0.93 · | 2022-08-30 12:15:46

Can you name one? Note: not “unknown to me”, but unknown to virtually anyone.

perl4ever | karma 7545 | avg karma 0.95 · | 2019-09-18 23:49:51

Even if you know what it is, if you refuse to identify it, and you're the only one who can, then it's unidentified as far as everyone else is concerned.

AnthonBerg | karma 1785 | avg karma 2.01 · | 2018-12-03 13:47:35+00:00

It is unknown. It might be unknowable.

yellow_lead | karma 6150 | avg karma 4.38 · | 2023-03-27 11:51:36

But they don't say what it is

the-dude | karma 9031 | avg karma 2.39 · | 2021-12-22 08:16:37

An unknown unknown.

hootbootscoot | karma 182 | avg karma 0.48 · | 2019-11-09 21:02:18+00:00

which may not exist.

Glawen | karma 825 | avg karma 1.91 · | 2020-03-21 18:28:05+00:00

They don't say which one...

ssivark | karma 5570 | avg karma 3.83 · | 2021-04-07 22:54:37+00:00

Cannot, because here we’re talking about “unknown unknowns”.

jacobush | karma 3029 | avg karma 0.74 · | 2018-03-05 07:53:55

That’s what makes it unknown

emodendroket | karma 21781 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2016-08-19 15:42:18

Those are not discoverable in the same way.

elliekelly | karma 14496 | avg karma 4.03 · | 2021-06-04 12:58:34

“Unidentified”, if you will.

sametmax | karma 16793 | avg karma 3.97 · | 2017-06-25 07:25:33+00:00

The fact we can't make a distinction doesn't mean there isn't one. Just that we can't know about it.

tonymet | karma 2863 | avg karma 2.16 · | 2022-10-07 11:01:33

it’s rare and there would be no way to distinguish .

AdamJacobMuller | karma 4597 | avg karma 3.44 · | 2021-06-30 23:28:01+00:00

But, it's a known unknown, not an unknown unknown.

arpa | karma 2577 | avg karma 2.71 · | 2017-10-03 11:07:49+00:00

That's an unknown.

nerdchum | karma 651 | avg karma 2.03 · | 2023-07-19 17:01:12

I find it telling you can't name one.

yawaramin | karma 3520 | avg karma 1.85 · | 2013-09-03 19:28:10+00:00

Also, `we don't know if it exists'.

rc_bhg | karma 89 | avg karma 1.2 · | 2017-01-30 17:40:26+00:00

Unknown! All of these are unkowns.
