True enough, but even still I don't see that "gnostic atheism" is obviously the opposite of "agnostic atheism". In any case it's not what I claimed. The terminology is confusing and I was hoping to be helpful, although I see now I was far too glib.

They aren't, but that wasn't the claim. Here's what you said:

Gnostic and agnostic are not opposites!

The article you linked explains how they're opposites. Gnostic and agnostic are opposites, just like theism and atheism are opposites.

right, one type of atheism and another type of atheism arent "opposites" and no one said they were.

the prefix in question and how it functions in this case are indeed opposites. one is a position of certainty about the topic, and one is a position of a lack of that certainty.
