    Let's say the pookah had a red shirt on.
    Observer one of pookah not very observent or bad memory says
    to his knowledge the shirt was blue.
    Observer two says it had on a red shirt.
    Other observers say they have no knowledge of it.

    You can have correct knowledge, incorrect knowledge, or
    no knowledge of something.
    What does knowlege of pookah's shirt have to do with
    agreement with others?
    Everybody's knowledge is based on their observations but
    agreement of observation doesn't seem related to knowledge
    of the color of his shirt.

    >their minds? To them, seeing Harvey is not proof of his existence, it's
    >proof of madness because pookas don't exist.

    my knowledge = my opinion
    consensus of opinions = consensus of opinion

    but I still don't see how you go to
    knowledge = consensus of opinion
