You didn't compute a probability. You can't. So you know shit, basically. What you're trying to talk about is that knowledge is provisional, but that just means anything you know now is provisional, like the geography of the Balkans, or (indeed) the plate tectonic arrangement of landmasses. Something you don't know yet isn't provisional. It's a speculation, and it's not theoretical physics, except in restricted contexts, as when there's a theoretical framework. Even then, even if something resembles something else, you'd best consult somebody subject to confirmation bias on the topic of how resemblance works. Possibility is specified in relation to a proposition about which one has hope. Don't tell me about your hopes.

You have no reason to expect that you will ever need to do that. You're looking under your bed for spooks. So far, you haven't found any. How many times are you going to keep looking?
Resemblance? My ass is what that speculation resembles.
