When I was young, I thought I understood C++, because I had been taught it in school. I did not. Having interviewed several recent graduates who thought they knew C++, I believe this is fairly common, particularly among people with advanced degrees in engineering and the sciences. It's very easy, in C++, not to know the scope of one's ignorance.
