Types of Knowledge

I have argued with my Statistician friends against the validity of a real binary distinction between “Qualitative” and Quantitative” knowledge, but even were I to accept that,  I don’t see Stephen’s idea of Connective Knowledge as a distinct “third type” of knowledge. To me the question of connectivity or not is orthogonal to that of  quantitativity vs qualitativity, and if connective knowledge exists it may well also be quantitative (and/or qualitative).
