 Exactly. Put slightly differently, the fantasy that I "know" that I am "right," when my very notions of what knowing and being right are are dependent on where I fall in a changing system. What historical period I live in, what place I occupy in society, etc.

It doesn't, necessarily. One problem is underdetermination and the problematizing of the truth-evidence/truth-proof dynamic; the fantasy of the one true theory of the world. The fantasy of the epistemic overcomeability of uncertainty, plurality and their relations to the production and distribution of authority; power/knowledge and all that.
