I did a double read (hence the question marks in the original post) as I wasn't sure. I've heard the phrase, definately, but I've only ever heard people say "they've forgotten more than someone else knows" - with the insinuation that the forgetful person therefore possesses the greater knowledge. The sum of what they've forgotten on an issue amounts to more than what that someone else knows etc. I've never heard "know more than I've forgotten", hence why I asked if it were a deliberate insult, error, or have I just mis-read it
