[In general, do you think something can be true but unprovable?

How would you know?]

I think we're looping back to "what is knowing" here. And what is considered sufficient proof

Sufficient proof is beyond the shadow of a doubt. What difference does it make if something is true but unprovable? It's unprovable! We can't know if it's true.

Too high. We couldn't function with that requirement for knowledge.
