I was thinking- what does it mean when you say, I don't know if I don't know???

It's like when someone keeps you asking you the same question in different ways and you're tired of telling them that you don't know.

You may not have sat in on some of the training sessions with self important HR managers that I have in my various jobs. When the trainer makes absolutely no sense, and I am confused, and I can't ask the right question to clarify the information (or lack of) because I don't know what they know, I would often say "I don't know what it is I don't know"; meaning it was impossible for me to understand as I don't have enough experience or information to ask the right questions. Confused? Believe me, some HR trainers couldn't train a monkey to eat a banana.

It means you're unsure, or perhaps not sure that your sure. It means you might know something.
If I said this I would mean that I am almost remembering something but can't quite. It could also mean that you know something but have no idea how or why.

until the questions are asked and the reference is known, there can not be a known.

it means you are unsure of your facts or lack there of. in essence, you don't know, I don't know, nobody knows--for sure...
