JohnT,

I believe that you at least have understood what it is I am trying to communicate.

I believe that the knowledge transfer occurs only when the person finds the auther and they togheter build an understanding of what is on paper.
Maybe they will be able to supplement each other or the one person needs to put the other persons meaning in perspective.
Let two of your friends read the same book and let them singularly explain to you what they have read.
Even Alice in wonderland would propably sound like two different stories to you, allthough the concept may be the same.

You may have followed an advice, but the knowledge was build during the activity not by reading about it. It is also not certain that the knowledge you build by the activity is the same as the person, who described the activity, has build in the first place.
So now you have two people, one who has written and one who has read, doing the same activity that might or might not bring the same result, but with two different oppinions and knowledge about it.
That I believe is not knowledge transfer.

Best regards
Richard
