There is a difference between knowing if a blind spot exists vs knowing what in the blind spot.
I.E. taking a driving lesson and learning that there's a blind spot in your rear view mirror

To me that is still the case of power corrupting people. If you are surrounded by positive feedback all along, you loose some of that self-awareness.

It is by no means the case that "normal smart persons" realize that.
