Clive Exton

Do you know everything? I really don't know, sir.

But when I saw that, I thought that's terrible writing from Clive Exton.

That's not what Jeeves would say.

Jeeves knows very well that he doesn't know everything.

And indeed, in one of the other Jeeves stories, when Bertie asks him the same question, he laughs and says, oh no, sir, what's with that effect? So I was unfairly maligning Clive Exton, who did the dramatisation of that, of Jeeves and Worcester, in this case, because he does indeed say something very similar in this story.

Yes.

Sort of paradox, because by the act of saying he could not say, he's showing that there is something he doesn't know.
