Isn't "I know" just a subjective threshold for the probability of being true? A layman may put that probability at 90%, while I scientist may put the probability at 99.999% before saying, "I know".

I don't know, is a logical deduction like the classic aristotelian syllogism 99.9999% certain, or is it certain?
