OK, perhaps we can have a discussion on this.
You said "I consider that 1 John 2:20 is written to me, yes. Also John 16:13."

First do you actually mean 1John 2:20?
It is a rather ambiguous verse and means different things in different translations.
For example the NRSV says "all of you have knowledge" - which true. We all have some knowledge, so the verse is meaningless.
The KJV says "ye know all things" which is untrue. Nobody knows "all things".

So can I ask what you think it says, or do you really mean vs 27 (which is what most people quote) "but the anointing which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; as his anointing teaches you about everything".
You are right. Only God knows everything in eternity.

A phrase you know everything means you know everything that is important. Exaggeration underlines implied meaning rather than literal meaning.
