Remember the old Persian proverb:

He who knows and knows that he knows is wise -- follow him
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep -- waken him
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a child -- teach him
He whos knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool -- shun him

Which category does John fall into?
