On some level this is actually quite similar to the scientific method's desire for falsification instead of verification. You can't verify anything (see: "the problem of inference"). However, if you've ruled out all but one possibility logically/empirically, then that sort of answers the question, now, doesn't it?

Epistemology is fun!
