Even if I disagree with you on some points - that was very well said.
Well done!

ChistianTrader,
That might have been what you wanted to communicate but what you actually wrote was quite different than what you now say you intended to wrote. I was dealing with what you wrote, not what you thought you were writing.
You wrote: "You can know your girlfriend and still make mistakes in predictions about what she will do in situation X."
You did not write: "You can claim to know your girlfriend and still makes mistakes.... because in fact you might be wrong about "knowing" her..."
The rest of your post builds upon your re-defining what you actually wrote the first time.

You can know your girlfriend and still make mistakes about what she will do in certain situations, unless you want to claim that knowing a person implies exhaustive knowledge. Without exhaustive knowledge, mistakes can be made. So as written in the post above, I stand by this statement.

"œIt seems that you are using the word "know" to imply something infallible. That is not the usual way the word is used in philosophy or elsewhere. Infallibly know is the top of the range of the word's use but not the only use. You can know your girlfriend and still make mistakes in predictions about what she will do in situation X."
