The claim that you know that there are questions that some empirical method can't answer isn't an agnostic claim.
I guess we'll just have to add the term agnostic to the growing list of things you have consequential misconceptions of.
Why would an empirical object be immune to empirical investigation, what method do you use, and what is the answer?
Let's see if you can spot the issue if I couch it in context of your own assertions.
I note that you haven't answered the question of what it feels like to hold a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day, etc etc etc.
Does this direct experience of mine justify an assertion that you can't answer that question? Not only that you don't know, but can't know what it feels like? That you can only talk around it?
If, otoh, you do or at least can know that, and the manner in which you arrive at this knowledge is fundamentally immune to empirical observation....then what kind of observation or knowledge is it?
