"Knowledge is nothing more than the systematic organization of
facts"
This statement is true in relation to an area of knowledge such as natural
sciences. Regarding the subject of biology or chemistry and physics, facts are
facts. 'Gravity pulls you down' or for example 'everything is comprised of
atoms' are facts and cannot be rebuked. They also cannot be interpreted in
different ways by an individual, for example there is not many ways to
interpret the fact that 'your body has blood veins'. That statement is a fact
and there is no way to interpret it in another way, unlike the statement 'your
body experiences pain'. Now regarding this statement, two people can interpret
this is different ways, for example one can say that this means that you
experience emotional pain such as grief and depression. But a second person can
interpret is as external/physical pain like bruises and wounds. So in the field
of natural sciences, knowledge is nothing more than the systematic organization
of facts.
