At the risk of being irritating, let me make sure I make sense...  
Material can come off the wiper arm and embed itself on the knurling, to 
make it look like the knurling is gone.  In what I have seen, the 
material on the wipers is much softer than the wiper shafts...

You might take a pick to it and see if some of it comes off, revealing 
the knurling...  If it doesn't, then you are no worse-off...
