Here, I agree with Kees. The value of knowledge is, in my opinion, tied directly to the context of its use. Normally, the current value of knowledge is reduced to nil with new technology and process advances and achievements. However, there is always a residual value when things such as Y2K arrive and hit us in the face. That, of course, presupposes that enough people with experience still live to enable the revalidation of the knowledge for a specific use.

Rejuventation of knowledge, however, is transient in nature--seldom persistent.
