Hinge setting 'know all' reminded me of this pome-

Here I stand , my name is Jowett
There's no knowledge but I know it
I am the Master of this college
What I don't know isn't knowledge.


He was the Master of
Balliol and when a huge and venerable tree blew down, ordered it be put upright again. And it was.
