Um, yes you can, or you end up being stuck believing any random "insufficient disproof" hypothesis. I'll name a few, if you want: there's an invisible intangible unicorn in your room, your boss is being mind-controlled by space aliens through subspace, and your door is wired to explode but only when you would be in a position to be killed by it.
If you give any of these meaningful credence - even enough to be "agnostic" about it - then you shouldn't ever use that door, might consider quitting your job, and will work under the assumption that you never have privacy
And no, I don't think I'm that close to infallible, I think I'd have to be that close to infallible to believe something that ridiculous.
