Original Note:
"I know nothing about..." is an emphatic/hyperbolic way to disassociate oneself from a subject. For example, "I know nothing about basketball" wouldn't be taken to mean the writer has absolutely no knowledge of basketball whatsoever. https://ludwig.guru/s/know+nothing+about https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/emphasis https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hyperbole
