I'm going to purposely ignore the latter half of your post. It's an important question, but not what I want to get at right now.
What do you consider knowledge, and do we need 100% certainty that something couldn't have happened to consider that it didn't happen knowledge?
That standard would seem to rule out the possibility of knowledge altogether, which would leave me wondering what you think we mean when we use the word, and whether even using the word at all is appropriate under any circumstance.
