Andreas re 2 + 2 = 5

Certainly. I've seen people "clearly know" (not just imagine) an incorrect number.

Could you fill this out a bit? There's some relation (don't ask me to say exactly what it is) between knowledge and certainty; but it doesn't follow from someone's being absolutely certain that x, that x.
