Greetings,

This seems an example of the difference between 'knowing by 
experience' and 'knowing by abstract manipulation'.

Before Archemedes discovered the mathematical principles of 
displacement, people knew through experience which boats could float, 
which couldn't and which floated better.  After the Archemedes 
mathematical principles were understood, boats could be better 
designed for future purposes with more precise accuracy.

What do you think?  Can this represent the Social Level vs the 
Intellectual Level?

I don't let go very well.

Marsha
