+1 This is a great question! I added a few examples to illustrate the wide range of (model-based) certainties but I think a good answer will cover that better. "a little" and "a lot" can of course be simultaneously valid since they are subjective relative comparisons, and what the phrase "we know" means can be addressed as well.
