# It is actually an interesting point
in that we can't predict what future knowledge is going to be - obviously, otherwise we'd already have it - and yet we can somehow know what type of information it is that we're trying to find out. Whatever that means.

We do our best to "know what type of information it is that we're trying to find out", but that meta-knowledge is itself something we continually struggle to find out. I suppose that's why prototyping is such a successful strategy.

# It is scarily similar to a scene in Yes, Minister
EDIT:
The fact that you needed to know was not known at the time that the now known need to know was known, and therefore those that needed to advise and inform the Home Secretary perhaps felt that the information that he needed as to whether to inform the highest authority of the known information was not yet known, and therefore there was no authority for the authority to be informed because the need to know was not, at that time, known or needed.
