Yes, he/she would know that is not an option, but would not change anything to the outcome.
1. loss of 3 hyd., knows he is screwed, gives up and dies.
2. loss of 3 hyd., doesn't know he's screwed, tries to do something, finds out he can't, gives up and dies.
No, it is not acceptable not knowing the systems(is not sudden, is quite a while that training moved from know all to know what is needed.) but him not knowing the above does not mean he has other holes in his knowledge, as knowing the above does not mean one might not lack somewhere else.
I like to believe I know everything about my aircraft, but I know I do not and I keep learning.
