    I used “know” in the colloquial sense. Do you think it’s unjustified to believe that they will resupply your demand?

      since the future hasn’t happened yet, no claim about it can, in the present moment, be true. so you can’t know it.

        I did not use the word “know” in the question “Do you think it’s unjustified to believe that they will resupply your demand?”. Notably, I asked if it is unjustified to believe so.

          You know that others will resupply if you buy this thing

          if you will admit that it is impossible to know this, we can follow whatever tangent you like
