I couldn't work it out, but surely if "you've forgotten more" about a subject (presumebly a lower base of knowledge as stuff has been retained?) then someone else knows, what your acknowledging is that even though you've forgotten stuff, you still know more? Or the knowledge that you've forgotten still amounts to more than what someone else knows?

What Winstanley's said is they "know more than he's forgotten", thus placing him as the superior source of knowledge.

"Obama also complimented the 84-year-old Israeli president on his relatively youthful appearance. "I also want to get his recipe for looking as good he does," Obama said. He added: "You have forgotten more than I will ever now," apparently a compliment, but disturbing to many Israelis who associate Peres with policies that ignored Palestinian terror attacks and agreement violations in the blind pursuit of peace that has ultimately proven deeply disappointing." _ from an Israeli journal (it was all I could find)

The inverse would be you know more than I've forgotten - still can't get it. Unless it amounts to two ways of saying the same thing?

[QUOTE="Warbler, post: 2061580, member: 65228"] I couldn't work it out, but surely if "you've forgotten more" about a subject (presumebly a lower base of knowledge as stuff has been retained?) then someone else knows, what your acknowledging is that even though you've forgotten stuff, you still know more?
