...Oddly using the same reasoning the "rapidshare infringers" do, namely, "If I X [have no idea about something], then so must everyone else".
So yes, it's pretty hard to defend against your claim that "you can't know for certain that you have full information (or even a representative sample of sufficient size)", specifically because you state beforehand (as well as afterwards) that "you doubt this to be true".
Premise/dogmatic assumption 1: Every assertion made by every MR member can be doubted.
Premise 2: Some assertion.
Conclusion: I'm unconvinced.
Exciting stuff indeed.
