Just a suggestion - but it's probably worth looking more deeply into existing epistemology and cognitive science before coining / popularising terms in this way. There's a whole lexicon and deep, decades rich bed of research around the relationship between affect, knowledge, insight, type 1 and type 2 reasoning etc. There's a great attraction in attempting to popularise sticky terminology in this way (e.g.: lesswrong coining terms like 'steelman') - but doing that often misses the more sophisticated and nuanced parallel work in other fields.
