I don't think knowledge is the "application" of anything.Â* Your definition is like trying to classify a scientist the same as an engineer.Â* The engineer applies the concepts of science; however, that doesn't make the engineer a scientist nor the scientist an engineer.Â* The scientist ascertainsÂ*the knowledge, but the engineer applies it.

The know-how not just the know is the line I was (kind of) taking . If theres no how then what is knowledge?

To apply something is the ability to make information/data function as the engineer would but if the scientist was without a clue as to [i]how[/
I] a formula worked, I.e; couldn't apply it he'd be stumped. He could dance around full of formuli but not know if it worked... stuck in theory with no practical ability because he dosen't know-how... he is then not, knowledge-able .

What is knowledge if it has no application ... no use?
