A long time ago I sat for a first year English exam on A Portrait of a Lady without having read *any* of the book apart from the front and back covers.
I failed.Another time I sat for a philosophy end of year exam without knowing *anything* (What did I write about? Spinoza?) about which I wrote pages of nonsense that I hoped might not be completely wrong. When I caught up with the person who marked my paper he looked at me in a concerned kind of way and said 'It was a joke, right?'
So that was my effort to assess the limiting factor of ignorance on academic performance.
But it seems to me you know heaps of stuff about organic chem; maybe just not as much as you should or would like to know.
