Imagine I throw candy at the floor an this kid always picks it up. Then I throw candy at the train tracks and the kid gets ran over. Am I not responsible for the kids actions?

knowledge, being a justified, true belief, precludes knowing the future. I cannot know what others will do.

I used “know” in the colloquial sense. Do you think it’s unjustified to believe that they will resupply your demand?

since the future hasn’t happened yet, no claim about it can, in the present moment, be true. so you can’t know it.

I did not use the word “know” in the question “Do you think it’s unjustified to believe that they will resupply your demand?”. Notably, I asked if it is unjustified to believe so.
