A term like knowing is fine if it is used in the abstract and then redefined more precisely in the paper.

It isn't.

Worse they start adding terms like scheming, pretending, awareness, and on and on. At this point you might as well take the model home and introduce it to your parents as your new life partner.

Sounds like a purely academic exercise.

Is there any genuine uncertainty about what the term "knowing" means in this context, in practice?

Can you name 2 distinct plausible definitions of "knowing", such that it would matter for the subject at hand which of those 2 definitions they're using?

Well, yes. It’s an academic research paper (I assume since it’s submitted to arXiv) and to be submitted to academic journals/conferences/etc., so it’s a fairly reasonable critique of the authors/the paper.
