Are you wondering about the adjective 'necessarily' in "necessarily real or true"?  It came with the dictionary citation.  I hypothetically accept static, or conventional, knowledge.  

If I suppose a angry bear is chasing me, I suppose I will run?

I prefer the idea of negotiating conflict resolution in Serbia.

>>>>>> There it is: "all knowledge is hypothetical".  I've been listening to a youtube audio about Karl Popper, his 'Science of Falsification'.   It's a Popper quote.  Not an idea original to me, probably something I read in the book 'Black Swan' which had many good things to say about Popper.
