What I think you mean is that it's one thing to see something at face value. To see the facts, to know it front-back-side-to-side. Cold, unrivaled knowledge. But to really know something, beyond just acknowledging it as real, to become attached to something is an entirely different trait that, like a personality, takes time to develop. The Sacred Bod of Knowledge, as it were.

Take the example of my favorite comedy writer, John Cheese. I can tell you about him right now, we could talk for hours about his life and work. We could share knowledge of him, but we really don't know him, like his family knows him. I've never forged that bond with him, so I don't know him on the same level as his wife and kids, granite, but I have forged a different relationship with him. I know him as that guy who can make me laugh on Mondays before I even get my first cup of coffee in. And damn-it-all if he doesn't because Mondays are just awful. It's like a multi-staged system, isn't it?
