It seems to me that there are several different definitions of the word, "know", being used in this discussion.
As ususal, Rosborne, good post.
The problem I see with the circumstance you illustrated, though, is fairly obvious.
I have had the same arguments I am having here with the theists -- in other threads with atheists.
These theists insist they KNOW there is a God.
The atheists I debated, KNOW there are no gods.
If we allow the word KNOW to be perverted to that second definition you mentioned -- both those things, which are mutually exclusive, would have to be KNOWLEDGE.
But it isn't.
Don't want to get to deeply back into this. I will agree to disagree on the point with those who feel strongly differently.
Oh...by the way. Nobody else showed up, so I got schnockered all by myself last night. I'd still like to do the "get-together" though.
