I think that you are nit picking. The "knowledge" referred to pertains only
to the subject the writers are writing about or the structures they have built.
In this case, it reflect the knowledge you have behind the statement you
make referring to the idea presented -- which in a sense has misinterpreted the
meaning of the original statement. A painting or sculpture by Leonardo or any
other artist certainly reflects the knowledge the artist has obtained in
creating such a work of art -- just as God's or the universal source's knowledge is
reflected in the human body and other natural forms created by its Nature.
If one has a Masters knowledge when writing a book or creating a work of art,
the resultant work will certainly show itself as a masterpiece, and be
recognized as such. Any lesser work will also reflect the lesser knowledge of its
creator pertaining to that particular creation or expression.
