Why do I think that "brand X" orange drink ("At least 10% real juice!") tastes more like fresh oranges than "brand Y" orange drink ("At least 10% real juice!") does? I don't think that I can put my finger on all of the reasons why I think so, I just know that I do..."Which sample tastes more like fresh orange juice to you?", says the demo guy.
"Meahhh.., this drink tastes more *orange-like* than that one does. Can I have my free coupon now?"
"Not just yet, sir. Can you tell me why you think so? Why do you - LIKE - brand "X" more than brand "Y"?"
"Well, I'm sorry to say this but it's not that I really - LIKE - one sample more than the other, I just think that this one tastes more *orange-ish* than the other one does..."
"(silence)"
"Can I go now?"
"Thank-you, sir..."
My inability (refusal?) to dredge up all of the reasons "why" I think a certain system sounds more like real music than another system does not negate the fact that it does sound that way to me, nor does it stop me from "knowing" that it does.
That said, it might be possible to *know* too much when knowing is superfluous. While I know that I have the remainder of my lifetime to try to figure out the details of little conundrums (such as the one described above), every time I think about doing that the angel who has been appointed by God to keep us from re-entering the Garden of Eden swishes his burning sword above my head in warning.
Some things simply aren't worth "dredging up" in this short lifetime of ours. I therefore choose to use words which mean nothing in themselves even as they allude to things that are "well known".
Come to think of it, no word has meaning in and of itself. Words *allude* to known things, that's all.
