Martyn,

what is it actually you are arguing here. Is it mr. Taylor's pathetic quest for stealing knowledge.

I once saw a Steve Martin movie where he fell in love with a woman who's brain was in a jar. Did you see that movie?.
It must be something like this mr. Taylor has in mind when he is "stealing peoples knowledge".

This is really about questioning your own knowledge. Are you really so convinsed that knowledge is actually an object that you can manipulate in any way you want to.

Writing down what you "know" is like taking a picture of your oppinion that very moment, which will have changed moments later, because your knowledge has changed or evolved in the process.
And the person who reads or hears it will never be able to understand it fully anyway.

So all you will ever have is a time and context dependant oppinion that nobody can relate to, just like this message and all others on this and all other sites.

Try to dig deeper into what you consider as your basic assumptions and start questioning them.
You are maybe so focused on "best-practicies" that you never get down to that point, which is called "innovation".

BR
Richard
