Nope the monkey is right. You don't 'know' anything, you only believe it.
Consider the 'knowledge' that the Sun will rise in the East tomorrow. How do you know? Because it's always risen in the East? So, something that's always happened will always keep happening? Negative.
I think I had this argument with Ong once and he wasn't stoned enough to get it.
Or more to the point, consider the 'fact' that 'blah blah blah' (whatever Banana said about x). This is a 'fact' how? Because it was reported as such in some newspaper or even better, Fox? That don't make it a fact, it makes it information that Banana finds credible - not the same thing.
