When employed properly, it is not an expression of defeat, rather a reminder of the vast amount of knowledge still to be gained and an admission that despite one's quest and voracious appetite for knowledge, one cannot conquer it. It is a beautiful paradox that your article reminds me of. It seems the most knowledgeable people I know truly believe they are not knowledgeable. They don't just say it out of humility, you can see in their eyes that they mean it. Their standards are so high and their respect for what it means to be knowledgeable is much higher than most. My take away from this article is that I will try to better walk that line of not belittling myself or my potential in a way that discourages me, but to goad myself by admitting my ignorance in comparison to what is out there for the taking!

English-speakers might assume it's a French expression ;) I agree as long as they acknowledge the possibility of learning. Skepticism seems rampant these days, where people deny the possibility of knowing because they doubt the efficacy of the human mind.
