| The facts | The meaning of the facts |
| A body of coherent facts | The “theory” that provides coherence and meaning to those facts |
| Verifiable claims | Fallible, in-process theories |
| Rightor wrong | A matter of degree or sophistication |
| I know something to be true | I understand why it is, what makes it knowledge |
| I respond on cue with what I know | I judge when to and when not to use what I know |
