Knowledge
Sorry for the recent spread of random old fragments, but you'll just have to deal for it while I clean things up for a bit.
Knowledge is information that can be gathered through direct intent or life experience. It raises issues with validity because attained knowledge is dependent on the truth of the source--that is, its validity may be compromised by unknowns present within the process. These could be as diverse as situational chance, untrustworthy senses, and differences in intent. Speaking of intent, that itself is what colours the necessity of knowledge, in that judgment of knowledge must be halted when intent can be made of its usage. The most common way to show the validity of knowledge is with proofs (scientific) which can also be limited by the same issues that face knowledge. This is becuase this process involves the backing up of knowledge with more knowledge.
