It is possible to be honestly mistaken. 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I am saying, certainty and honesty go together. When we know something for certain, we do because are honest about it.
So the way to hold to only what is for certain, is through sheer honesty to oneself and others.
MK, it's actually the opposite. Certainly and dishonesty go together.
Anyone who claims they know anything for certain is either lying to you or to themselves also.
What is so hard to understand about that?

Ayup. Once can be honest, certain, and dead wrong. These are not mutually exclusive positions.

It is better to be doubtful and honest.

Would it be logically inconsistent to honestly doubt that statement?

1+1=2 because we say so, thus we can be certain of it.

I stated reasons in OP. As usual, people attack the conclusion with pure assertion without looking at the argument.

But you didn't post an argument, your OP was nothing more than brain flatulence.
Can you honestly say that the unreadable drivel you posted means anything? Be honest with yourself.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

I will simplify, knowing and not knowing becomes not distinguishable without the factor of honesty. I explained why already.
