The trouble with this as an analogy is that you are choosing something for which you have created a scenario that would exclude our ability to "know" in the manner you describe along fairly predictable lines. The analogy falls apart for the observer literally sitting on the sun, doesn't it? When this observer gives you the sitrep on what state the sun is in, he doesn't have to wait to see if it's true. He cannot communicate this to the observer on the earth any faster than the lightshow will reach the observer on earth, but this is not a limitation of his ability to know the state of the sun, nor is his ability to know the state of the sun at the "mercy" of the universe or time in the manner in which you have presented for the observer on the earth. Again, it's communication that is limited in this analogy, not "knowing".
