Donald Rumselfd AEBko Defentsa Idazkariak esandakoa (2003.12.02):
“Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unkowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unkowns –the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”
Gertatu ez denaz aritzen diren txostenak beti interesatu zaizkit, zeren, dakigunez, badaude ezagun egite ezagunak; badaude badakizkigun gauzak badakigula. Halaber, badakigu daudela ezagun egitate ez-ezagunak; hau da, badakigu badaudela ezagutzen ez ditugun zenbait gauza. Baina badaude ez-ezagun egitate ez-ezagunak – alegia, ez dakigula ez dakizkigun egitateak.

“We think we know what he means, but we don’t know if we really know.”
Uste dugu badakigula zer esan nahi duen, baina ez dakigu segur ote dakigun.
