I think this is unfair to the definition of knowledge because what you and the parent post are saying ironically forces it into a cube-like box. Knowledge usually refers to an all-encompassing definition: > understanding of or information about a subject that you get by experience or study, either known by one person or by people generally https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/knowledge https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/knowledg... So if I don't know something by experiencing it or studying it, what other way is there? Skills and understanding fall under those two.

Personally, it's pretty rare I do something and it's the same each time, so I can draw on skill and expertise ( a form of knowledge) to help me out, but generally there is some inventiveness required for a given situation. For example, as a builder, you'd quickly understand two pieces of wood are the same, that's something which requires skills to work around, not just knowledge. Maybe it's better to say applied knowledge? Recently I've moved areas, and the type of cedar I get here is a little bit different to the type of cedar I get out west. It feels different to work with, and it's a bit of an art not to damage it. My previous knowledge didn't really prepare me for this.

I think that studying never gives deep knowledge if it doesn't involve actually doing it, i.e practice. I think that can get us closer to where the gap is here: just reading something is not enough to have all the knowledge?
