Hey, Nicole, you have such a lively mind...I bet you could talk yourself into your own execution by the guillotine if it appealed to your sense of winning the argument. :-)

Here's another example. From what do you gain more knowledge of what is an apple?

1. From hearing about apples, seeing pictures of them, hearing other people's opinions about them, reading books about them, OR..

2. From picking them, smelling them, tasting them, eating them, and growing apple trees through the whole four seasons?

Hmmmm...?

That's what I'm talking about, Nicole. Direct experience imparts knowledge. Indirect, secondhand experience imparts information, and I don't consider information to be knowledge, because information can so easily be incorrect, incomplete, or even totally false.

And if you think one doesn't gain knowledge about sex from having sex, then you are seriously at sea.

I think you're just fond of "winning" verbal debates, that's what I think...by any subterfuge possible. Doing so does not impart knowledge, but it feels absolutely great, eh?
