This saying is also connected and/or conflated with the answer Socrates is said to have received from Pythia, the oracle of Delphi, in answer to the question "who is the wisest man in Greece?".

It is understood that we cannot know everything. On the other hand why do so many insist that we know nothing?
Imo it's pure nonsens, and has no scientific height, or least the same height that Buddah proclaimed himself the "enlightend" because he understood some nonsens.
Then the sheeple will parrot the same "wisdom" (stupidity).
There are no deeper meaning in it, other what naive people "wants" to find and see, ending up being nothing but the Emperor's New Clothes all over. Quite sad and tragic, we will always have utterly stupid and naive people.
