Reminds me of some attempts to detangle the Gettier problem - including one laboured example about "knowing" you own a cookbook despite the fact that unbeknown to you the cookbook went missing and a new copy has been giftwrapped for you under the Christmas tree.

I have a friend who swears that he does not need to watch some films because he knows they are rubbish. He's very occasionally correct, but hardly knows it.
