Yes, but that's the difference between how we construct knowledge claims and what those claims are about.
Right. I think we could just accept that we are using words differently but don't actually disagree?

Well no, because you'd have to accept that what we say about words is also subject to truth criteria. So you can't just say "fascist" is someone who loves cats.
-
Huh? You could. Once you understand that 'fascist' means 'cat lover' to someone else, a perfectly coherent conversation about what it means to be a cat lover can happen. If you insist they really mean what you mean by fascist, just confusion will ensue.

However, this is unlikely to happen whilst using 'knowledge' to refer to facts is quite standard.
