I'm not convinced. Suppose John and Paul were the only ones
who came, and Mary knows that John came but not that Paul
came. Now:
(1) Does Mary know who came?
Yes, she knows that John came.
(2) Does Mary know who came?
No, she only knows that John came, but not that Paul did too.
I find (2) acceptable and (1) suspect, but I suppose other people
can make other judgements.
