OK. If we're going to take an epistemological detour here, let's explore the "goodness" of knowledge.

Accept, for the sake of this discussion, that knowledge is what people know. As such, one might value what a person knows if it is likely to be useful in a particular future situation, if it is useful in a particular class of situations, or if it is useful in a broad range of situations. Certainly, such knowledge is "better" than knowledge that is narrowly applicable or highly context sensitive. I think this is essentially why several members of this discussion "value" best principles over best "practices".
