The "stuff you know" slice should be "stuff you think you know," and "stuff you know" should be a tiny sliver.

It's fun asking kids, if 100 is knowing everything and zero is knowing nothing, how much do you know? And they'll answer something like 80 or 90.

Then you ask them how many words they know in the dictionary. Then you ask how many words they know in other languages. And then they realise they don't know much at all and agree the answer is something more like 0.0000000000001. (needs more zeros)
