If "unknown unknowns"[1] make people idiots then everyone is an idiot and the term is neither an insult nor meaningful. Likely there's some other reason you have for wanting to use a mean and angry word that you haven't articulated well. What you describe in your original comment is probably just the Dunning–Kruger[2] effect.
