The importance of unknown unknowns. They would presumably make the prior wider, and could also be incorporated from an outside-view perspective.
A meteor falling out of the sky used to be an unknown factor. It doesn’t happen often, and might be underestimated.

(That was rhetorical, but since this is a forecasting newsletter—any examples of centenarians response or perspective to/on SARS or COVID?)
