I think it goes further than talking of the unknowable, as gnostics (...Hindus and Buddhists, etc.) would renounce knowledge altogether (deceptive/illusive views of reality). So the typical agnostic is still clinging to knowledge by claiming it is not something they know, as if knowledge is a prerequisite to 'knowing' God.

Hence the Hindu phrase which doesn't involve the verb 'to know':

'I am that.'

    Your kitty is very good at being greedy. Mine would not put up with this!
