The scientific method is not knowledge. It is a
method for arriving at knowledge. A proposition such as "the scientific method works" cannot constitute knowledge unto YOU until it is proven by YOU. If you make such a proposition based on having read about other people who have used the scientific method successfully, its still information to you rather than knowledge. Go do some actual experiment using the scientific method. Then you can claim to "know."

No, it doesn't, unfortunately. If you have spell books, that doesn't constitute knowledge until you're actually performing the spells and find that they work. If you're doing that and claim to know spells, then more power to you. But just having read some books, whether from the "highest authorities" or not, simply means you have some information written on a page. It doesn't mean you have knowledge.
