These expansions usually fail with negative answers. If we
accept that "I know who killed Laura" must include the case
that when noone killed Laura, I know that noone killed Laura,
then the expansion fails. There is no true {de} such that
{de du'u da catra la lauras}, therefore your expansion
is vacuously true but makes no claim of knowledge. It would
be true even if I don't know that nobody killed Laura.

Here the quantifiers are wrong. Surely for most da, there
is no true proposition {da catra la lauras}, yet you claim
that for every da there is at least one such true
proposition.

Same problem with the quantifiers.

Same problem, at least.
