Your error is misunderstanding the premise of science. "Perfect knowledge" has nothing to do with it. Nobody but a fool would claim to have perfect knowledge, or have a system that gives it.

Another dogma in the name of 'science'.

I would be fascinated to hear how you figure that.

Literature on the scientific process is all quite clear that the process does not yield perfect knowledge, nor is it supposed to, nor can it.

Also this is not a conclusion of science (the scientific process is not meant for such things) but rather epistemology and the philosophy of science.
