Know I don't. How can you know what I don't know, or even what I do know.
All we can know is that we can both communicate via this list.

"Recognizable by us" presumes a common existential history, what if I was
brought up in a cave on a mountain top and have never seen a car. I have
*never* seen an atom. I have seen a *picture* if some atoms that were
arranged to form the letters IBM, but that was just printed in a book.
