Which just means that you have stipulated yourself out of all classical logic, since Truth is different than Knowledge. In a good logic system, Knowledge will be a subset of Truth, but you have defined that in your system, Truth is a subset of Knowledge, so you have it backwards.

It never gets confused by paradoxes.

Can you parse "It might be useful if it would return something else that
TRUE for some X, especially if that X contradicts something that can be
inferred from the set of general knowledge." ?

 Before we can get into these details it must first be
acknowledged that True(X) would necessarily work correctly
for the set of actual knowledge that can be expressed in
language.

And thus really be a Known predicate.

 True(X) for this set proves Tarski was wrong that no True(X)
can ever be consistently defined. Silly self-contradictory
expressions are simply rejected as not members of the
body of knowledge.
 

No, it shows that you are so stupid you don't understand the difference between Truth and Knowledge.
Possible because Truth is too abstract for you to understand, since you world is just built on lies and make-beleive.
