There is such a difference between intellectual knowledge and experience knowledge. I know in my mind I'm rationalising - while whining about the washer - that it's wrong. In my intellectual knowledge I know I should feel VERY grateful that I am not hauling water from a spigot or river in a bucket, to do hand scrubbing, then putting the clothes on bushes or ropes to dry it out.
I'm guessing since I've never had experience knowledge (Lord I'm not asking for this of knowledge) of hauling and washing clothes by hand, that right now I would be deeply grateful for a washer that pours the water in by itself, agitates the clothes around and then spins the water out.
But the experience knowledge I really know about is putting clothes into a washer, selecting a cycle and then the washer DOES THE SAME THING EVERY TIME - instead of this machine that sometimes blinks red at me after 5 minutes sometimes 10. Sometimes it goes the whole cycle without ever blinking, or sometimes agitates, rinses, spins and blinks at me green. I find it as annoying as a cat who meows after you give it food and water - "WHAT?!" - in which the cat meows again. I'm not a fan of blinking red lights.
