I don't know how to make a wormhole and I know that I don't know how to do it along with loads of things, in fact I think I probably know of more things that I don't know about than things that I do know about.
Exactly. One of the things I probe for, when giving a graduate student a final oral examination, is whether I can get a clear and definite "I don't know" when I ask a question that is outside the student's area of knowledge.

But it's often remarkably hard to get that answer! People will make up bizarre wrong answers rather than admit ignorance..
