But if you think you've found THE answer, that would be illogical. If you want to believe your extreme, that's fine, but it's illogical to assert that you know it to be true.

That's equally true of ANYTHING you think you know. You don't know that swimming is good for you, but you keep doing it anyhow, because on the basis of your current application of your rationality to your perception it is what you believe to be true. We always have to act on that basis.

What agnostics do is apply that principle to the mundane things of life, but refuse to apply it to the important things of life. Which is irrational.
