Re: Who'll fact check the 'fact checkers'? Archived Message Posted by Keith-264 on January 28, 2021, 9:58 pm, in reply to "Re: Who'll fact check the 'fact checkers'?" Knowledge is fairly easy, memorising facts; explanations are harder because you need concepts and to discriminate between knowledge that matters and knowledge that doesn't. I'm rather proud of the fact that I've never learned how many days there are in a month (except for February) and only read one Russian novel (Dead Souls, Gogol), a rather entertaining allegory. I'm rather proud that I have learned some of the methods of academic study and am quite good at some that don't need an understanding of numbers.
