    neither are true, to be honest.

    there are lots of seemingly intelligent (but disillusioned) people who try to comment on things that are out of their depth, because they may think they have an original and relevant contribution, when they do not.

    admitting you know nothing does not make you a genius.

    As I always say to others - "I know nothing".

    Well I mean you don't have to know nothing not to know everything so it is false.

    It's true. No way we can 'know everything.'
