If you've not been there, you wouldn't know.

Well, we won't know what we know or don't know (but maybe should know) until some terms are suggested and justifications given as to their relevance e.g. Ergativity: useful concept for marshalling examples for talking about exploding suitcases, aborting fetuses etc.
