Reread this sentence from the passage. With what scorn a pilot was looked upon, in the old times, if he ever ventured to deal in that feeble phrase, "I think," instead of the vigorous one, "I know!" How does Twain organize the text to explain what he means?

    I know what he means. It means somebody saying I think, isn't as easy as saying I know because you may be afraid to just go for it and be vigorous saying I know because you may be wrong, while I think can be any percentage of a chance of being right from 1% to 99%, while I know can either be 0% or 100% correct, so I could see why someone would say I think.
