I like G1 through G4, but G5 is a bit
presumptuous.  Nevertheless, G1 through G4 is the
most realistic list so far produced on this forum.    (01)

The response above triggered the question above.
As was the case with 
Data and the Datum, there is scant information
about how one clearly 
distinguishes Knowledge and Wisdom. Hopefully,
this opens up an 
opportunity for us to iron out some clarity of
this very important 
matter :-)    (06)

I think the statement above, from John, very much
captures the 
difference between both of the aforementioned
items.    (07)
