The problem, as he goes on to explain, is that different people have different knowledge soups, and it's not clear how to resolve disagreements.
I'm going to link this from my notebook on Human Quirkiness
# The contents of the human mind are inconsistent, loosely organized, and in perpetual flux.
# The mind is not a highly organized knowledge base.
# And it is not a large fuzzy peach.
# A better term is knowledge soup: Fluid, lumpy, with chunks that float in and out of awareness.
...
# Truth is context-dependent: it is a relation between a theory and a model of some aspect of the world for some purpose.
