There was an American philsopher Edmund Gettier who found new gaps inside the epistemology universe. Briefly his views can be represented in this way:
let's take someone wants Z to be done. And he wants to do X to get Z. But he knows that X cause Y, and he is not aware of Y causes Z. Anyway, he does X, and X causes Z. So, the person did what he wanted, but did not even expect it. He didn't know, while he did and his actions made the results to appear.
So, one may be right even doing wrong actions according to his views, while getting the exact results he wanted to get. It works in a both way: if the one didn't want Z to be done, but he also didn't know that Y also cause Z, but he knows that X causes P, while he didn't know that P also causes Y.
We might have tried to correct such a view arguing that to be sure that Z be done we have to know all what cause it. But it is impossible. Let's say that we know that Y and X causes Z, but nobody cannot be sure that the combination of P and Q which are caused by X and Y can't cause Z.
To know that Z can be caused by only a certain reasons we have to know everything, and since we don't know it, nobody can rely upon his actions bring him to the expected results. That is why our actions might bring us to not expected, and the expected might bring us to not expected.
