My point about 'propositional knowledge' and I'm outta the debate:

"There are known knowns; there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don’t know."

- SecDef Donald Rumsfeld


IMO - such reasoning can be as ably applied to Darwin as to our situation today.
