"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman 

"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts"

– Richard Feynman

Perhaps truest in the increasingly modern-day type of context (unknowing / not knowing at lot in real-time)...

█ "We don't know anything
(we have to trust / take paid people's word for it)
█ don't have much real access
█ Those that do are under a lot of pressure, financial stresses, strong-arming
█ We have old data
█ Systems and people in charge are not transparent
█ Security for not showing is usually an excuse or not worth the risk of being lied to
█ etc

I would include AI in the initial quote sentiment that ignorance is by the masses yes but also of those involved and line managers themselves who don't know really what's going on. (Business Science and Art of Deception)
