Hmm, you're on shaky ground there, because you've introduced the
concept of knowledge of *ideas*. If someone knew that juggling
existed, they would most likely learn to juggle in a very finite time.
I think it can be assumed in most cases that the characters know much
of what is done in the world around them - a position from which they
are able to learn from doing.
