No reason justifies disbelief.

The claim that you know that there are questions that some empirical method can't answer isn't an agnostic claim.

I'm agnostic about some things because I know enough about others. I know that a singularity is impenetrable in certain ways and why, and so I'm sure that we can't know what's really going on inside the Big Bang singularity. I know that mind cannot be directly observed, so I think science (being a system of objective observation), cannot answer any question of mind which can't be subject to correlation with properties which ARE objectively observable: if science is the only means by which mind can be studied, then we must remain agnostic about mind.

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?

Asked and answered. My not having a tool for answering some questions doesn't stand as evidence that a tool someone else claims is actually up to the job. It's almost like. . . the word "agnostic" means something, eh?

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?

It doesn't really matter if you take that position, because in describing my experiences, I'm not claiming to be using a framework of objective, shareable observations. If you really question my knowledge about what an experience is like, I can shrug my shoulders, realize that you haven't had that experience, and walk away.

The assertion being made in this thread is that there are no questions science is not best-suited to answer. I've taken a contrary position-- there are some questions which science isn't well-suited to answer, there are some which it cannot answer because they're not the right kind of question, and there are some which it probably can never answer, due to limitations intrinsic to the Universe and our ability to observe things about it.
