Obscurity

Let's begin with a proverb, "to the obscure everything is obscure".

To call something obscure is to say “I’m intelligent and I haven’t heard of it/them/him/her therefore it must be obscure”. This is incorrect reasoning. The correct conclusion is that you’re just not that well informed. It’s lazy, hubristic and not in the good way of Perl.
