What is being discussed is the differences between the 4 stages of learning.
1st A person doesn’t know what they don’t know.
2nd. A person knows that they don’t know.
3rd. A person needs conscious thinking to know what they know.
4th. A person knows what they know automatically.
The expert who is unable to express themselves to the layman is in the 4th stage. A teachers best position is in the 3rd stage, for they are conscious about what they know and hence can assist others in knowing. A person in the 2nd stage is ready to learn, they accept they don’t know it all, but they wouldn’t be an effective teacher. A person in the 1st stage isn’t ready to learn and couldn’t teach either.

This is interestingly reversed from what I expected. I would have put it at
The deadly Unk-Unks.
Known unknowns.
Gets it, but can’t express it.
Groks it, and can teach it.
