I don't see how I'm making an objection.

What is knowledge? If you ignore it, it can kill you.
How do we gain knowledge? Observation.

How do we know what we know?

Doesn't this question ask for an uninformative tautology? We know what we know because we know it.

I think a better wording is, 'How do we know something?'

Arguably the same question as, 'How do we gain knowledge?'
