There is an interesting trajectory.

At first people are incompetent and unware of it it.

Then they drink from the spring.

Some think that they are then competent! But they are still unaware of their incompetence.

Others, recognise their incompetence and try to improve their abilities with a sense of doubt and humility.

Knowledge is only truly gained by those who, at every step of the journey, questioned themselves on whether they are possibly wrong.
