As education (A) increases, knowledge (B) and "things you know you don't know" (C) increase on approximately the same curve. I'd say that A:C grows slowly at first, then gets steep, while A:B is roughly linear.

There is one other comment with same opinion on the site itself.

But the idea is not to get into such gory details. Its a fun thing. They essentially get the highly insightful statement in a very creative way. :)

I was definitely impressed to be reminded of Humility and what makes the best people this way.
