True. True. I see what you mean. Oh, I didn't mean to imply that you were unaware of the difference or that you were using either word incorrectly. I agree that knowledge usually implies wisdom, but I know some people who fail to apply the things they know (hence lack wisdom). What I mean by wisdom being hard to measure is that people have different ideas/standards/opinions on what is "wise." Of course there are many things that people generally regard as "wise" or "unwise," but do you get what I mean? Please excuse my awkward articulation.
hwell:
Cool quiz! I got 27/30 (got 20, 24, and 25 wrong). A lot of the "trick" answers were obvious though. Ooh. Latin is really helpful when it comes to this sort of thing! It might be a "dead language" but it can still come in handy.
Yeah the theory itself is more important than the name of the guy who came up with it. I'm the same way with a lot of names in historical studies. I can tell you about an event and what happened, but names are easy for me to forget. The fact that I'm the big picture type rather than detail oriented plays a part in this. I actually had an American History teacher who was not only great with names of historical figures, but he could tell you what state/area they were from. To me that seemed unimportant and really tedious to try to remember, but everyone's different. What was tedious for me to memorize was just fun facts to the teacher.
Curiosity is a great thing. Awesome quote! (... I had more written, but I got logged out and had to retype from memory so the message is shorter than It was originally...)
