Known vs unknown #18

If we are working with natural numbers, knowing all deals with infinite, and ignoring nothing is about zero. It is far easier to work with zero than to work with infinite. This is why I prefer to measure how much we do not know rather than how much we do know. That should be clarified somewhere in the introduction, or perhaps, in the preface.
