If you know nothing, how can you know that your assertion is true?

Could be, but I have no way of knowing ...
I know nothing about what he claims to know nothing about.

Originally posted by twhiteheadNo, if he knew quite a lot he wouldn't say he knows nothing, would he? He would have to say he knows not if he knows nothing. I think your statement is false. You just don't know it.
He may actually know quite a lot but merely not know that his statement is false.
