truths and knowledge

[Logical Language Group <lojbab@ACCESS.DIGEX.NET>]

Thoight of another example for Jorge to tear apart.

The following seems to me a good example of "know" with a subjective
truth, and it even is language based %^)

John knows that in English it is improper to split an infinitive, but I
know that this is false.

I believe that the main verb being "know" renders the meaning different
than using "opine" or even "consider" (whjoich in this case would usually
be interpreted to mean "opine"), because opining speaks to the impropriety,
whereas knowing speaks to it being a rule of propriety.  My claim to it being
false speaks to my knowing that the rule is in fact often broken in
perfectly acceptable English speech.
