Turkish has such flavors of past tenses. They are called "observed past" and "learned past" tenses.

As the names imply, one is used when you witness the event. The other is used when you forget that you witnessed or you heard it from someone else.

The comment is about turkish tenses that are "similar" to the kind of knowledge conveyed in the tenses OP points out. It seems relevant to me.

The relevancy is obvious. Someone wondered if we will need new words for different nuances of tense, and this comment described that Turkish has some of those already.
