Hi Mark,

Baloney!  

The quote is quite clear.  The James quote states "all knowledge" NOT "intellectual knowledge".  Have you been taking Dave Buchanan lessons again?  


“It was classic William James, imbued with a sense of the relativism of all knowledge, a respect for and curiosity about alternative perspectives, an instinct to analyze clearly and thoroughly but to develop a synthesis wherever possible, and a conviction that the truth of any idea or thing is best understood by observing its action in the world.
