What is the sum of all knowlege..?

One of the things science proposes is that all things are Knowable, through what ever mutually agreed upon means that, tests, allows us to examine a bit of data and say this is that.

The sum of all knowlege is when you examine all of the data in the universe and it conforms to to a set of predefined rules, small chance.

People can't agree on simple things like what is the best temperature for sleeping or whether scrambled eggs ought to be hard or soft. If one person can't possibly know everything and two or more people will disagree on what they know, what hope is there of a committee knowing everything or what basis is there for saying everything is knowable? Seems like the committee, while pooling resources, rarely gets a universally satisfactory result.
