I don't think we really can claim that we "know" the truth. For all I know, I might be in the Matrix, so I can't "know" that I know anything. But I can believe things based upon the available evidence. And one person's evidence supporting his belief can be stronger than another person's evidence. People can have beliefs about the truth, and those beliefs might be right, but they can't necessarily know that they know the truth. One belief can be more supportable than another, though. Quote:
