RE: What do you guys think of STCs new definition for technicalwriter?

["Lauren" <lauren -at- writeco -dot- net>]

I think the point here is that when "knowledge" and "product" are combined,
the resulting phrase is nonsense.  So, Edwin, are you saying that "knowledge
product" means "nonsense"?

I think that the discussion of the definitions of terms and phrases used in
technical communication is relevant to technical writing and not OT.  But
continually dodging answering the question "What is a 'knowledge product'?"
while still using the phrase (for over a week) in discussions is really
lame.

If the phrase cannot be defined by the person who introduced (or at least
continues to re-introduce) it on this forum, then the phrase is not relevant
to technical writing.  So, for now, the phrase "knowledge product" is
nonsense.
