the nail matters it caused the puncture
How is knowing everything about the nail going to fix the puncture?
The nail doesn't matter.
Don't you know that there are known knowns and unknown knowns which we don't know about. There are also known unknowns which we may not actually know about (yet). I wish I knew all the unknown knowns cause then I could prove string theory and win trivial pursuit (junior and Genus editions) all the time.
Oh you silly Sausage, you will never succeed.
You don't know what things you don't know.
If you don't know what you are unaware of, you can't actively seek the truth as you can't identify that you need to know what you don't know, so then you do know it.
And that is what the "powers that be" prey upon.
They know what you don't know, so they gave us all TV and the Rubik's cube (more technology from the Roswell space craft, it is not just velcro and microwaves you know) to keep you occupied so you don't know what yu don't know and thus won't actively seek to know.
