There are three main types of knowledge which may be likened to the idea of an orange; the texture, smell or taste of an orange; and actually eating, digesting and assimilating the nutrients of an orange. These correspond, respectively, with intellectualism, emotionalism and real knowledge as possessed by a master or teacher, one who has Arrived.
With real knowledge, together with compassion and conscience for instance, and with knowhow -- how to apply it in the here and now -- there is no need for such dry, academic debate.
