Big YUP.

Bottom line: What we don't know that we don't know is the biggest slice of the pie, especially for would-be election predictions.

And, oh, relying on polls, pollsters and aggregators -- even a few recent aggregator apologists here who tried unsuccessfully to justify their existence -- seems a guarantee to shine a bright light on what we don't know.
Amusing and a tad annoying to see the incessant "predictions" and lists of percentages here.
