And we have known unknowns and unknown unknowns.
For instance, tests of stored tissue samples has shown the incidence of HIV was already around 5% in the gay populations of New York City and San Francisco, in 1978. It wouldn't be till the summer of 1981 the CDC would flag something odd was happening in regards to PCP and KS.
The significance of nukes and delivery mechanisms (shipping container on a cargo ship in a harbor anyone?) is we know about it. It's those goddam surprises that throw wrenches into the best laid plans.
A big earthquake located somewhere unusual*l, odd ground track for a hurricane, dam failure, hell, there is a new fucking weed loose south of here that has the potential to devastate corn and soy production, and it's not on the national radar yet. What will be the zika/ebola/WNF or 2017? What happens if a 15 year old with a drone downs a fully loaded 747?
There's a shit load of shit we don't effin' know about.
* like that magnitude 5.8 in Washington DC a few years ago, what if it had been a 7?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
