The point is, humans shan't regard any event as true/absolute.
As far as science goes, we may only regard events as probable.
One may perhaps regard events as true, if one maintains omniscience. [Otherwise, one shall probably argue from omniscience]

PS: Perhaps you shall avoid usage of words such as 'quite' that construe absoluteness.
First, if you mean humans as a whole, you are correct.  You can't get the entire human race to even agree that the Earth is spherical.  There will always be stupid people.  But individual people can and do regard various events as true or absolute.  It happens here every day when some theist makes some claim of the absolute.

Second, yes, scientific method does not allow for absolutes, only probabilities.

Third, here you are definitely talking about an individual and you are definitely wrong.  One does not have the need to follow any rules or "be" any particular thing to regard an event as true.  Many maintain the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus to be true.  None of them have or claim omniscience.  Your point is soundly disproved.

Finally, the word "quite" does not "construe absoluteness" in that sentence, and it was properly used.  The word "quite" is not one generally associated with absoluteness, but rather with degree.  "Quite simple", for instance, would be more simple than "fairly simple".  In fact, removing the word "quite" removes the statement of degree, which actually moves further toward absoluteness.  "What I was saying is simple" is an absolute with no degree implied.  It is a statement intended to be regarded as "true".  It IS simple.  By adding the word "quite" I added a degree of simplicity, actually making it less absolute.  I can argue pointless semantics all day long, man.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
