Because 'you don't know what you still need to know' is also a sentence, and given that you know everything (i.e. an infinite number of sentences referring to an infinite number of states-of-affairs), you also 'know that you don't know what you still need to know'. So, it is also true (for the above-mentioned reasons) that
