Hi Horse,

I suppose you could call both things knowledge.  One type is having an
understanding through reading and conceptualizing, the other is from
living through and experiencing.

>From now on, this friend of mine will have a completely different
understanding of what an earthquake is.  When reading the word, he
will remember the experience, and not the concept.  He will never be
able to describe what he experienced except through analogy.  "Like a
boat getting hit by a number of big waves".

One type of knowledge is imaginary, the other one is real (for lack of
a better word).  Likewise, we have MOQ which is imaginary, and Quality
which is real.  The imaginary is subject to paradox, the real isn't.

Don't know if this makes sense, and I am obviously using words to mean
something.

Cheers,
Mark
