Then we agree! But I also think that the same thing happens with djuno,
it will generally not be used with exclusively personal epistemologies.

Right, and the same goes for djuno. Otherwise people would use djuno
for everything: "I know because of belief" instead of  "I believe", "I know
because of opinion" instead of  "I opine", "I know because of guess"
instead of  "I guess", etc. Obviously not what "know" means in English,
and obviously not how {djuno} has been used.

Well, that's your choice. I would claim it by neither. Neither "it's true
because I believe it to be true", nor "it's true because lojbab believes
it to be true".
