I'm not sure why the onus is on me. I know things, the omniscient being knows things. The difference is that the omniscient being knows all things, but I'm fairly limited in how many things. But as far as what it means to say that we know things, it seems to me to be a basic philosophical principle that when we say "I know something" and "X knows something", the assumption ought to be that we mean the same thing by 'know' in both cases.
