>Over the years I have heard here and there various versions of "Attitude is more important than knowledge" and each time I was furious, since I have invested a lot of time and money into acquiring knowledge. Alas I am starting to suspect that I was wrong all along. Attitude is the right and wrong word. If you understand what this means, you get it. Someone who doesn't get it, can't figure it out because of the word attitude. this is the same problem as the 'people skills' or 'soft skills' sayings. Want a book to jump start you? How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie(1936) In terms of your primary question though. I imagine "attitude" and "knowledge" as but multiple sliders from many sliders/traits in your character sheet. Who is to say what is better or not.
