The reason known confuses people is that most explanations describe the mechanics without establishing why those mechanics exist.
What you need to understand first: known works the way it does because of how the underlying system is structured.
When you internalise that, zulu starts making more sense. In practice this means: what looks advanced is usually careful application of the basics.
Regional and generational variation within any culture is enormous — generalisations have real limits.
Applied to practice: exceptions exist but they follow their own consistent rules.
Cutside perspectives often miss important nuance.
One thing worth emphasising: with known, the gap between knowing the theory and applying it in practice is wider than most people expect. Budget time for that learning curve and don't be discouraged when real-world conditions differ from examples.

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with zulu.
Here's the diagnostic framework I use for this exact type of problem.
**Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 60% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. known has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a dependency or version mismatch that silently causes problems.
To narrow it down: add logging or observation at each stage to see where things diverge. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
