pff, knowledge is a deception.
Who asserts to themselves in their internal monologue that they know
some key fact? Nobody because it feels weird to do so and it has no
political value.
But people assert it to those around them all the time, and curiously
when it has political value to do so, or closes a deal that depends on a beneficiary's personal capability.
To assert knowledge is to deceive or defraud.
