What was the purpose of forbidding Adam from eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil if he already had that knowledge? Your definition of intentional is quite odd and based on what you need to be true rather than the word's actual meaning.
But the ability to disobey (which they obviously had) is not the same as being made aware of the good and bad within yourself (the loss of innocence). I used 'intentional' because it was not an accident--they actually discussed that God said not to eat it and chose to do it anyway.
