Scientific knowledge and understanding are validated through prediction and control of the behavior of impersonal objects. To understand and participate meaningfully in personal subjective relationships among members of a community---scholars need to refine personal subjective categories and words in terms of which to participate in and discuss their personal subjective relationships: dialogue, honesty, intimacy, vulnerability, security, trust, confession, forgiveness, responsiveness, presence, guilt, excommunication, rejection, acceptance, etc. The fruit of such knowledge is the ability to participate meaningfully and with satisfaction in communal life---and the promotion of both personal and communal integrity. In the absence of such fruit their is reason to suspect the presence of the knowledge of good and evil from the tree in the midst of the garden. Charitable personal knowledge and understanding are confirmed through sacrificial participation in personal and communal integrative processes which bring meaning and satisfaction to human communities. An attempt to achieve subjective personal knowledge, understanding, prediction and control (in the manner of objective scientists) is a tragic step away from goal. A failure to recognize the differences between the various kinds of knowledge is bound to lead to tragic behavior which is lead by sincere convictions in the propriety and relevance of disintegrative kinds of "knowledge".
