Knowledge is many things. To many people. The concept of Knowledge can be expressed, however it loses it's conceptual nature and becomes subject to perspective interpretation. Popular usage of the term knowledge implies a grasp of some fact. However, this is not always the case. especially when common Knowledge is considered. That is more a matter of consensus. Most definitions eventually loop back upon themselves by referencing the ideas of knowing and truth.
As I use the words, knowledge represents a working hemn model compiled from givens and observations that seems both possible and most probable. Knowledge, on the other hand, is Gnosis. Pure conceptual Truth. This is very hard to come by, and falls apart as it is processed into the framework of a sensing non-omniscient's thought processes. As I comprehend so far, it is highly improbable for a non-omniscient to ever have Knowledge. the taint of limited comprehension lessens the Gnosis as it is grasped. thus, the Knowledge makes the transition to knowledge as it ceases to be conceptual and becomes a perceived.
As far as questioning empiricism... do so, constantly. It is built on flawed underpinnings. Just as flawed as the senses used to gather the observables. It can work to create a "functional" or "operational" model, but never let it carry more weight than the elaborate appeal to popularity that it is.
