This is a good question, God himself is knowledge, he witnesses himself as sheer perfection, absolute life such that there cannot exist a god other then Him. His existence is absolute. Had this absolute value not existed, then no value would exist, because all of it must have a basis, and the only basis is absolute knowledge/perception for it to be true.

Had God been limited or one of many, then this would be impossible.

When we witness God's Oneness, it is borrowed from his own witnessing of himself and his witnessing of all things.

How does God know he himself is knowledge? What if there's something he doesn't know? He could never say there isn't something he doesn't know because he wouldn't know it if there was and doesn't know it if there is.

How does God judge himself absolute perfection? By what standard does God measure perfection? His own? Wouldn't that then be a subjective opinion?

If my objective measurement of value is different than that of God's, that means there is a difference of opinion, that God's is not the only measurement of value, therefore his standard cannot possibly be the objective standard.
