Information can be false. Knowledge can be inaccurate.
Thanks for the reply.

Truth=information=knowledge.
My post above is using objective language, NOT subjective language, so as
to differentiate facts from opinions. All three terms are therefore intended to express positive absolutes.
So, to objectively qualify as information, it must be informative; Which is also why, objectively speaking, 'false' information intends to denote that it's misleading, and therefore NOT informative.. Hence I'm objectively reasoning upon a true dichotomy, in order to prevent the misconstruing or obfuscating of words we all use to communicate.
Knowledge/ignorance is a true dichotomy. This is an axiom ---> Something must be true. Without a "true" objective meaning of "truth", then there is no true meaning to ignorance or knowledge, whether it's objective or subjective in it's perspective. Axioms are necessary for logical reasoning to occur. Without them there can be no mathematics.
What you're referring to would accurately be described using terms such as misinformation, or disinformation if intentionally misleading. Likewise, anything that is learned that is false, would not objectively qualify as knowledge. If one's knowledge is inaccurate, incomplete, or unsure, then it's best to just say in all honesty, "I don't know for sure" or simply "I don't know". To say one knows, when they don't actually know, qualifies as falsehood, and to dishonestly say I don't know, when in fact I do, is also falsehood.
