"I'm not saying that knowledge is socially constructed, but our understanding of that knowledge is socially constructed." - a line taken from this CNET news report (http://news.com.com/2102-1032_3-6140175.html?tag=st.util.print) on a talk by John Seely Brown (ex-Chief Scientist of Xerox Corporation and the Director of its Palo Alto Research Center - http://www.johnseelybrown.com/) … makes me worry that MY understanding of that knowledge is better than your understanding of it because MY understanding/use/manipulation of 'socially constructed' is better than yours (to paraphrase the sentiment of Animal Farm quite awfully)?

But, like many position statements, I'm in agreement.
