"The kelvin is defined by the Boltzmann constant"
The SI kelvin is defined by fixing the Boltzmann constant k to an exact value.
Warrant (how it is justified) and consensus state / credence (where the community stands) are independent axes. The four warrant kinds are unordered peers — not a certainty ladder.
This is a human-established fact. It holds within INTERNATIONAL as enacted by BIPM.
