A Peddler of Perfection once wrote a book about quality called “I’ll know it when I see it.” That would indicate that he doesn’t actually know “it” before he sees “it”. In the present universe where “trial and error” is the norm, this is rather a typical approach. I would dare say there is a better chance that he would not know it even if he does happen to see it. The fact is, we need to know “it” so we can successfully see it or produce it or decide on it.

Instead of looking for counterfeit money they look for the real thing. This plays out more readily in business.

Regardless if they were pigs, cows or horses they would be lined up one behind the other following the same trail night after night.
