Which do you think is more useful?
I know, technically, experience could be considered knowledge of some sort since you learn about something and that' technically information.
What I mean is; is it more useful to know a lot about something or to actually have experienced it?

I personally think that you can't know enough about anything until you personally experience it.

Lil Candy Princess I personally think that you can't know enough about anything until you personally experience it. Agreed.
I think that experience wins this one . . . you can reads as many books and stories about tigers but you're not going to really know what it's like or how to tame it until you do some field work.

I have to agree as well, I think ultimately experience is more important. Or at least more useful.

Knowledge is about truth, but truth is best verified by experience. Knowledge gathered by experience is only one type of knowledge, but without some level of experience there is no knowledge, though this does not mean that everything need be experienced directly by oneself.
For example, your experiences have proven someone to be trustworthy. That person, therefore being unlikely to lie, may be trusted and taken for his word to impart accurate knowlege. Ergo, in a more tangential sense, you still have knowledge verified by ones own experience.
A more direct way of expereincing something indirectly is bearing witness to someone else's experience. Things can just as surely be verified this way, though sometimes with less depth.

I think that no amount of knowledge can truly make up for having the expereince...

Experience.
For a cook it doesn't matter how many recipes you read, you need to make stuff to understand. Little harder to learn when stuff is done much less done right until you've done it a time or two.

experience wins another round in me. True knowledge is gained by experiencing something.
