I assume a 'true' doubter (the kind you seem to be talking about, anyway) would have no answer.

That is, (s)he wouldn't respond with "No, it's not an absolute truth," "I don't know," or "I don't know whether I know." (S)he just wouldn't have a response. Not one (s)he'd commit to, anyway.

But that's just my take on the subject.

By the way, have you ever read Sextus Empiricus's "Outlines of Pyrrhonism?" It provides a lot of pro-skepticism arguments you might be interested in wrestling with.
