I agree! Based on the title, I also kind of expected the article to cover that, but I guess it did so rather implicitly. :)
Personally though, I always thought of unknown knowns more like ~latent knowledge, so things you know without being entirely aware of them, or things you never thought of but that you immediately get when thinking about them (e.g. once somebody raises the question, you know the answer, but you never thought about that answer before and hence it wasn’t really part of your world model until then), or things you could figure out by piecing together other things you know easily, but you never tried.

Yes, me too, and giving the latent knowledge a shape and a name helps turn (part of) it into explicit knowledge.
