So the upshot, the epiphenomenalist would have us believe that his position is true, or is genuine knowledge, but conscious understanding has nothing to do with with why he holds this position. So conscious knowledge of Epiphenomenalism plays no role in why one may believe in the theory, therefore he has no claim to actual knowledge. Which seems self-refuting.
