TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

I think we're now talking about the distinction between being learned (that's the 2-syllable form of the word) and being wise, or between knowing and understanding. A person who has never set foot inside a classroom can be wise and can have great understanding, whilea person who has spent their life in academia can know thousands of things but understand nothing.
