To paraphrase Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle: the better you know a property, the more ignorant you must be of its conjugate property.

MODERATORS
Finally a real shower thought. And a good one at that. The similarities end with the perception of things though.
Knowledge stands on various assumptions and authorities. When they break knowledge breaks.
For example, consider errors of perspective. That's a toughie.
Too high for me. But knowledge can be based on empirical data as well so I don't think it's that fragile. Would be quite the reach imo
