 *You already agreed that such things can never be known*
 The Goldbach conjecture is known to be true or false
yet not which one. Anything known to be true by an infinite
sequence of truth preserving operations contradicts the
fact that nothing can be known to be true by an infinite
sequence of truth preserving operations.
 

Yes, if ALL we have is a statement that can only be shown by an infinite series of steps, then we can not know that.
But many things that take an infinite number of steps in one system, might have a finite proof in another system that can relate back to the original one. KNOWLEDGE can cross system boundaries under the right conditons, even if the proof doesn't transfer.
Just like Godel's G, that in F, needs an infinite number of tests to prove in F, but by knowing from the meta-F of the implication of that relationship, we can find the "shortcut" to proving it in a finite number of steps.
Goldbach's conjecture might be false, in which case that is provable by just showing the even number that can't be the sum of two primes.
There might be a finite proof of it, either in the normal mathematics, or in a meta-mathematics that allows us to transfer that knowledge back to ordinary arithmetic.
Or, it might be that no such proof exists in any meta-mathematics, and if so, it will just be unknown if it is true.
Such a statement can not be some how proven to be unprovable, as that would end up being a proof that it is true, as if it IS false, that falsehood is easily proven with a sample number, which must exist if it is false.
