Sigh! Iâ??m going back in time. (you = psychocat)

Paulinator made the first reference to knowledge in his initial post by saying

â??â?¦I can make calculations on fan requirements and grow room efficiency easily; I can also design the BEST indoor setup with my knowledge. Anyone looking for some tips just drop me a lineâ?¦.â??

I then said in the title to my first post â??why have 1 degree of knowledge when you can have spheres?

Later on you suddenly make the remark â??Knowledge is vague at best.â?? This was at a time when very little banter had taken place over the subject 'directly'. But fair enoughâ?¦we go on

I would like to know why you said it and how it ties in to the context of the thread. I suppose I have to decipher the encrypted messages myself. My perception looks at that statement almost as a random piece of a jigsaw that has bits missing to link it to the rest of the picture.

Prior to making the statement then, you asked for someone to define â??intelligentâ??. I replied and didnâ??t use the word knowledge. What sparked the so called simple statement Knowledge is vague? Asking which is more important, a bike repairer of banker, to pick out an explanation for your statement gave me a difficult time as I was thinking too much, or not enough, or from the wrong angle..

I think itâ??s the way you present your thoughts, or better still the way I interpret your presentation of your thoughts. Iâ??m finding I have to read the entire thread 6 times over to put what you say into context.

Now that you have, again, re presented how you define your statement I further understand, i.e.
â??â?¦"all knowledge being relative to our capability to understand it and it's validity in view of how often "facts" of old are proven to be false", therefore knowledge is in a constant state of fluxâ?¦â??
That makes more sense than just stating Knowledge is vague. In fact if you take out the word relative and put vague back in, the statement makes no clear sense/or vaguely makes sense.

My knowledge was vague about knowledge-being-vague until I asked for an explanation. Then I found that the reason my knowledge was vague about knowledge-being-vague was because of the vagueness of the theory. It was revealed that knowledge-being-vague was more knowledge-being-relative. But didnâ??t we both say this already but in a round-the-garden-path manner?

I said â??I suppose being 'in-the-know' or having knowledge of something is vague until it is required to bring that knowledge to the fore.â?? This can be interpreted as knowledge being relative.

Also â??If I considered my knowledge to be vague I think it would come about because I rarely use what I know. This too means that knowledge is relative.

Assessing someoneâ??s knowledge is vague if you just stand and look at them. Provoking reactions gives better scope of someone's knowledge, then what they know becomes less vague. And this concurs that knowledge is relative.

When you asked which is more important, the bike repairer or banker, well each has their application and their importance is relative to the situation. Essentially Iâ??ve found that we actually agree even though our approaches are very different yet parallel. To say I failed to understand is true, but to say you failed to spot similarities that unite our opinion is also true.

Iâ??m not going to pursue the remark of Africans now that a resolution has been achieved which can dilute that statement by simple reading it and saying â??relative to the timeâ?? in an after thought.
