1. Could you give us an example?
Edited on Wed May-05-04 04:13 PM by southpaw
Sure you could.

Will you?
Who's to say? We'll have to wait and see.

4. Nobody knows. That's an unknowable known.

If I know something, but nobody knows I know it, do I still know it? I think that's an unknowable known. :grr:

Who knows?

Have you the right to change it?
Sure.

Would it be a wise choice to make.
Not for me to say.

Would there be unknown knowns involved with this change?
Possibly.

Would there be known unknowns that are currently known to be unknown to be unknowns that could later be perceived as knowns?
Who can tell?

It's up to you, that's if you are really you and not me masquerading as you in which case you wouldn't be you but me.

Make sense?
You bet.

9. You may decide to change your posting style, you may not.
Edited on Wed May-05-04 04:35 PM by kixot
It's your decision, I can't know what you're going to decide, all I know is that you CAN decide and you MAY decide. Other than that, we are dealing with known unknowns and you know that I know that unknown unknowns are more worth knowing since to know them we must first come to know those things that we do not yet know that we do not know about and this always entails a surge in intelligence, which we all know leads to knowledge. Is this an overcomplication of the status of our intelligence at this time? Some may say yes. I would counsel those that would go so far as to say such things, however, that they, themselves, decide or don't decide what they decide based on limited intelligence and speculation and I think we can all agree, here, that those operations are more properly suited to the talents of the pentagon.
