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

unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the

ones we don\'t know we don\'t know.\'
