Of course we could never know such was the case, because all accounts of knowledge are in part contingent upon truth.

But this is to miss the point. "Relativists" aren't interested in making making knowledge claims, they reject the universality of the discourse that gave us "knowledge claims." Relativists (like Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida, Rorty, etc.) focus on the possibility that "truth" is little more than an inherited intuition of the Greeks (specifically Plato).
