@OP 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. And if one looks throughout the history of F5, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult one.
Mr Ku's excitement in his last email looks like the known unknown, the same excitement he expressed before the last layoffs. The only unknown is how many rows are in the known spreadsheet.
