| My point from the get-go is that knowledge replaces 
| imagination.

I don't agree with this; however I would say that the perception of
knowledge *can* inhibit imagination. Namely that if we believe things to be
absolutely true when there exists even an infinitesimal level of doubt that
they actually are, we are limiting our imaginations.

The accumulation of knowledge itself will not necessarily limit the
imagination of a person, although certain types of people are often too
quick to accept certain things as absolute truths. Perhaps it could be said
that a reluctance to ask questions is often the sign of a dwindling level of
imaginative potency? Not really my specialist subject, though.
