"All I know is that I know nothing."

My all time favorite "Stig Fact" from Top Gear is

"They say that he knows only two things about ducks..and both of them are wrong"

Which would arguably qualify as knowing less than nothing about ducks 😁

Whenever I see this quote (or others like it) I hear it read in Bill's voice from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Bill : Socrates [SOH -crates]- ' the only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing.

Ted: Dude, that's us!

There's people who don't understand what that means.
