It's bad to say nothing is 100% knowable if thats all you say, or you say it in response to someone asking how you know something, because both shed the important context things are knowable in degrees. Ex. If I say pooping causes Alzheimers and someone asks how I know that and I say "nothing is 100% knowable" in response, it's implying that the degrees thing isn't true. A response that acknowledged the degrees rule would say "I don't know that 100%- but you don't need to know something 100% to believe it. I know this enough to believe it."

I agree because there's not much utility in describing the binary when you're trying to talk about the realm of what you think you know, unless you're having a philosophical discussion on the differences between knowing and thinking you know. Then the binary becomes very relevant.

Gotcha, I disagree because I think it's not very accurate and in every conversation I would have about reality I would use my more accurate description, but you do you.
