You seem to not understand the difference of definite and accurate/exact. You can very much have definite knowledge of a continuous variable but it may not be precise or accurate. We only are required to have definite knowledge, not accurate/exact knowledge.

Did you get to 4 on three different 5 counts? You definitely did regardless of how accurate that counts are.
