I wouoldn't say knowledge is meaningless... how would it being (potentially?) wrong make it meaningless? What are we calling 'meaning' in this case?

Just trying to clarify what you mean here Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
