That would be the case.

I would venture to say that it is essential to get to that point in order to learn and master something from there. In fact, it is obvious to anybody who has done so. Knowing how much we don't know is pivotal and hence, you usually observe a sense of humility and openness from people who grasp that and utilize their intelligence. Conversely, you notice more hubris and defensiveness from those who only know what they already know and don't know how much they really don't know, (that was fun!)

You are welcome! I am glad you found it informative. It is useful.
