Many of us have a practical knowledge of things we like, and can communicate our preferences without possessing the technical knowledge of the true expert. I know that I prefer the chocolate cake at one restaurant I often go to, over the chocolate cake at my neighborhood coffee shop. But only a chef would be able to analyze the cake—to decompose the taste experience into its elements—by describing the differences in the kind of flour, or the shortening, or the type of chocolate used.
Yep!
