One reason why Knowledge (or Sanity) Rolls may be easier is that when you are in combat, a failed roll means you get injured and the next roll becomes harder. With Knowledge, you simply try again. Under the right circumstances, you can have multiple characters making Knowledge rolls within the same turn. If you tried this with combat, they all could end up hurt.
