so in other words, this is about the fact that as we advance we discover new knowledge and realize we might were mistaken in the past?
just a new way of talking about a structure we always knew was there
you sure we always knew about that?

Yes, but not exactly.
It's a new way to think about what understanding means.
"truth is always contingent on historical and social context rather than being absolute and universal and that truth is always partial and "at issue" rather than being complete and certain."
A new way to think and talk about anything and everything.
The idea is that total philosophical certainty about things isn't justified.

Thanks again for being here, dg.
Well I have always be aware that our knowledge and perception of everything is in constant change as we keep advancing in our understanding of reality, so with incomplete knowledge, 100% certainty cannot be possible.
