In the abstract, it's possible to have knowledge without having proof.
- erichocean 15y agoI don't know what "in the abstract" means in this case, but I do know that claiming to "know" something without having actual proof is what's called a conjecture: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conjecture http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conjecture A conjecture is not the same as knowledge, "in the abstract" or otherwise.
- jasonwocky 15y agoIf I saw something with my own eyes, but didn't capture a video recording of it, I could argue that I have knowledge but not proof.
