Phil, nothing is a statement of absolute certainty, natural language doesn't express anything precisely. It's wrong to read even "I'm absolutely certain that 2+2=4" as a statement of absolute certainty.
Of course it can and does. People just don't care much about precision.
The problem lies in making the precision explicit. That's why various non-natural languages like the conventions of mathematics were generated.
