This is an assumption on your part. How do you know what I know?

Again, an assumption!

Even if I stipulate that, why should I assume that the other person is more likely to be correct than me? If you (for example) seem so certain that I have 50% of my stuff wrong, why should I not be certain the same is true for you? Even assuming we're both correct, how does each of us know which 50%?
