"I recommend you brush up on your reading comprehension skills. Education does not equal knowledge, which does not equal wisdom."

Knowledge comes almost exclusively from education. Even the most basic of human functions must be taught, such as walking. Education does, indeed, lead to knowledge. Wisdom, on the other hand, is a rare thing. It's seldom found in human beings.

True, but a complete formal education does not guarantee knowledge, nor does the lack of one guarantee the lack of knowledge. As proof of the former, I give you Ted Kennedy, for the latter, Bill Gates.
