Even if true, this, I still suggest, is besides the epistemic point - for the
verb 'know' as used in English may here be a poor guide to the actual epistemic
status of 'knowledge'.
*You suggest this, but without a supporting argument. It seems to me that the
business of answering a Socratic question such as: "What is knowledge ?" may at
least be helped by clarifying how the word is
actually used in standard language. Socratic dialogues themselves contain
instances of semantic discussions. I I don't really know of any other languages
that use the word 'know' differently, either.
O.K.
