[ Copy / Paste ]

Information is not the same as knowledge.  These days, we all skim the surface a bit, skimming and taking information in, all the time. 

To add value to information and convert it to knowledge takes effort. Knowledge is deeper, wider.  Knowledge means you’ve considered another view, even a contrarian view, to check that information is sound.

Taking information, and copy-pasting it into another document without adding value is not knowledge work, that’s just admin.  We can’t claim to do knowledge work if we’re not adding value to what we do.  It may be easy to copy-paste, but it’s not better.
