Subjectively knowing something doesn't mean we're correct, but objectively knowing something does by definition.
Just as having the knowledge that a rock is either a rock or not a rock by definition, makes us 'right' by definition (right in the sense that we hold objective knowledge, subjective knowledge on the other hand cannot be absolutely known).

Objective knowledge in the philosophical sense, how I understand it, are things that we "know" because we believe them and they also happen to be true. So IF God exists then those who believe "know" he does (for example).
Subjective knowing is merely being really certain that you know something - and no one can possibly logically claim to hold absolute knowledge, yes.
