    What exactly are you trying to argue? Yes, I wasn’t incredibly precise, a book isn’t literal knowledge, but I didn’t think that somebody would nitpick this hard. Do you really think this is in any way a productive line of argumentation?

    Knowledge is something possessed by an actor capable to employ it.

    Technically this is not correct, as e.g. a fully paralyzed and mute person can’t employ their knowledge, yet they still possess it.

    ™One way I can employ a textbook about Quantum Mechanics is by throwing it at you, for which any book would suffice, but I can’t put any of the knowledge represented within into practice.

    Why can’t you put any of the knowledge represented in the book into practice? You can still pick the book up and extract the knowledge.

    See how these are technically correct arguments, yet they are absolutely stupid?

      Technically this is not correct, as e.g. a fully paralyzed and mute person can’t employ their knowledge, yet they still possess it.

      You’d have to be past Hawkins levels of paralysis to not be able to employ that knowledge to come up with new physical theories. Now that was a nickpick.

      You can still pick the book up and extract the knowledge.

      That would be employing my knowledge of maths, of my general education, not of the QM knowledge represented in the book: I cannot employ the knowledge in the book to pick up the knowledge in the book because I haven’t picked it up yet. Causality and everything, it’s a thing.

        I have no idea what you’re getting at, and I don’t think you’re writing in good faith. I’ll stop here. Have a good day!

          You just didn’t understand the argument. How in God’s name is he making bad faith arguments by refuting your points?
