Preliminary thoughts (after skimming the reply): It seems to me that you, appolose, are saying, "Suppose one receives input that is absolute knowledge. Therefore, he receives absolute knowledge." This strikes me as assuming the conclusion, that is, that the input is absolute knowledge. [edit: As you can hopefully tell, when I skimmed I missed the possibility that you are just putting forth a "let's assume for the sake of argument" type hypothetical.]
I am taking a step back and asking "Suppose one receives input. How could an objective observer (let alone the recipient) prove that that input is true, truth being a prerequisite for it being knowledge? [edit2: and, for that matter, justification, i.e. proof, also being prerequisite?]"
NOTE: This is obviously not a point-by-point response, and is not necessarily going to have much connection with my detailed answer. Nevertheless, I would appreciate it if you replied to this explaining how my simplified depiction is incorrect.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
