Saying that I don't know something would be agnosticism. Claiming that it's impossible to know something is an entirely different assertion. Personally, I think it's a bit of a rabbit hole, but I am interested in how a claim focusing on the individual ends up being insisted as comment on the world at large.
If I ask somebody what the proper weight for some bird is, they might say they don't know. They have a vague idea or general opinions, but they'd have to get back to me on that, or I'd have to ask someone else, or look somewhere else, if I was looking for a fact. Maybe two reasonable and well informed people disagree over that fact, even. Here is our bird weight agnostic and our dueling bird weight gnostics.
A person who says, instead, that no one can know the proper weight for some bird...is making a different claim than any of those three people.
TLDR version...I'm not so sure we can blame the agnostics for ruining reality.
