Your knowledge may not be true, but your knowledge may not arise from feeling a certain way about a thing, regardless of whether it's true or untrue. Ostensibly, you can get things wrong by possessing the wrong set of facts, or a set of innacurate claims purported to be facts. GIGO.
Do you think that any single sentence that you've posted to me can be true or false, or do they all resolve to you feeling a certain way about a thing? Do you think it's true, or could be true, for example, that I'm conflating truth and knowledge, or do you feel a certain way about a thing? Could you be wrong about that, or do you feel a certain way about a thing? Do you think that you made no knowledge claim when you stated as much? Could that be true or false, or do you feel a certain way about a thing? Could you be wrong about that, or do you feel a certain way about a thing?
If you're hoping that I'm going to argue with your stubborn feelings, you'll continue to feel disappointed. If, otoh, you think that we're having a discussion about facts, whether we get the facts right or wrong, there is a categorical difference between the two, just as there's a categorical difference between all the numbers that end in 2 in the set of even numbers, and the rest of them.
