Is your definition of knowledge limited to what is provably true and
known facts or is the level of certainty/probability of the retained
storage excluded? This aspect seems abscent from your definition.
Well, under some viewpoints, empirical 'facts' are _never_ "true" or "false" ; they are just "very well supported by experience" or "unsupported by experience"
Some people seem to think that the only sensible knowledge is empirical knowledge (Empiricism, I think)
So, for say, a Bayesian Empiricist (is this a tautology?), retaining knowledge without retaining the probability of the retained facts would be Of The Pointless.
So I would expect that such things MUST be stored.
