Not included in Rumsfeld’s taxonomy (perhaps because it doesn’t make much sense at first) is the '''{{risk|unknown known}}'''. Now, before you write this off, well — see the[[Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999]] for the sorts of things a well-ordered market can forget over sixty-odd years. The [[JC]] — who likes a pet theory, as readers will know — feels that unknown knowns might be the riskiest bucket of the lot. |
