My phone's autocorrect rejects epistemological relativism. It refuses to accept that "knowledges" are a thing but corrects to "knowledge."
More often the difference is one of opinion of what the most important questions to answer are and what the desired result should be.

isn’t this is where things like power, path dependencies, norms, values, etc. have some impact on the production of knowledge then? i guess my reading of such texts says we should take this into account. not as the only(!) factors, but factors nonethelessp

No, this is where they have impact on the development of opinions. Yes, we should take opinions into account. With human beings, often how we feel about a certain thing is more important than the facts of the thing.

In the case of a child who dies of cancer, there are things to know about cancer & how it leads to death but unless you are a medical professionals/scientist, this knowledge is less important than helping the bereaved cope with the loss. The knowledge doesn't vary. Priorities do.
