if you claim to know that nobody can know anything
I think you are turning a philosophical argument into kind of a trick question that turns on the meaning of know which has subtly different usage in different parts of your sentence.

A more accurate paraphrase would be that nobody can know everything. From this it can follow that nobody can know anything if and only if the strongest connotation of know is used, i.e. to know completely everything about something.
