Yes. That's why "the answer" to metaphysics is the same as for consciousness or physics - a metaphor or set of maxims that best leads to replicable certainty. Absolute certainty simply isn't in our reach
Yes... but it is not a lack of knowledge that makes absolute certainty impossible - it is impossible because the Absolute always "stands alone" / there is no room for an absolute XYZ (XYZ = certainty, truth, reality, self or other...)
Its like positing: There is infinity! And then backtracking and creating a theory that looks at it from the outside, that contains elements that are not it...
