Even if the universe of possibilities is not infinite, that doesn't necessarily mean it's possible to know when you know everything, which would be a prerequisite to proving such a statement. And of course, knowing everything is totally infeasible, so you couldn't prove such a statement in practice anyway, even if it were theoretically possible to do so.

I mean, I'd think we were talking more reasonably than that but if you want to turn it into some sort of philosophical question not bound by the physics of our universe, go right ahead...

Since it's impossible to prove a negative, asking someone to do so is a clear signal that the limit of the argument has been reached.
