I was just pondering on the phrase "what you don't know can't hurt you" and just how extraordinarily false that is. Not only is it false, but believing such a thing can be quite harmful.

I think it's far more often "Out of sight, out of mind."

I would change it to:
"The bigger they are, the more important the Collateral Ligament is."

Personally, I prefer the Ninja Turtles version:
