I recently had to take a discrete math course for my Master's Degree and I actually remember my professor saying this. I can't remember who originally said it, but it was not a Donald Rumsfeld original.
However, it is a great quote.

Jim, did you know that you didn't know that?
W. Edwards Demming-- the statistician—always talked about the “unknown” and the “unknowable”. The latter he used statistics to estimate or characterize… Sure has it’s place in software!!!

One of Buck Owens famous "last words" during his shows was to end up introducing Tom Brumley as the last one after all the other band members had been introduced.
And this is what he said,
"Folks, you talk about people who don't know nuthun?"
"Well this feller don't even suspect nuthun"
