It implies it is impossible to know it will rain tomorrow.
That's the fanatic absolute agnostic though. ;-)
Most agnostics don't go that far and will permit knowledge in relation to some
theory.
Most agnostics are so identified in relation to religion and aren't necessarily agnostic
about weather reports.

Otherwise they wouldn't be able to form a thought, go to the bathroom, make
decisions etc.
But you're right. If taken to extreme in that fashion, an agnostic would have to run
away from weather reports screaming: "Weird Voodoo Lorenz nonsense! I won't fall for
your powers of predictive seduction; even if it's just for a week!" Then again, how
would they /know/ that? PGC
