So in Chinese traditions “10000” is just a stand in for “really big number”. Kind of like how, at least here in the states, well say “there’s a million of them”. Not that there is literally 1,000,000 of the thing, but more there is just a lot of them.
To be fair, knowing 10000 things is far from knowing everything.

Still pretty impressive for an owl.
If words count as things, then most people know way more than that.
Even concepts can easily surpass that
I know at least 8356 numbers alone
Wow, I only know 8355 numbers. That’s very impressive.
I can do ya one better…
