Of true knowledge at any time, a
good part is merely convenient,
necessary indeed to the worker, but
not to an understanding of his
subject: One can judge a building
without knowing where to buy the
bricks; one can understand a violin
sonata without knowing how to
score for the instrument. The work
may in fact be better understood
without a knowledge of the details
of its manufacture, of attention to
these tends to distract from
meaning and effect.
