The known may depend on the unknown, and we can't possibly know how.

1) All humans are mortal
2) All Greeks are human

If I know 1 and I know 2, then someone asks: "Are all Greeks mortal?" I do not need to observe the mortality of every Greek in order to respond with a known unconditional answer. 1 and 2 logically yield:

All Greeks are mortal.
