    To be fair, knowing 10000 things is far from knowing everything.

      So in Chinese traditions “10000” is just a stand in for “really big number”. Kind of like how, at least here in the states, well say “there’s a million of them”. Not that there is literally 1,000,000 of the thing, but more there is just a lot of them.

          Just to spell it out for people: myriad means 10,000 but has been used as a stand in for “huge variety” for so long that people don’t know that anymore.

      If words count as things, then most people know way more than that.
