Knowledge and Power...

We were told that knowledge was power (and probably still is). Over time, we have seen knowledge. We have also seen power. We try to see if they are parallel or have a meeting point. From group to group, we find a divergence of views. Some say 'knowledge is power' while others counter, 'power is power', knowledge or no knowledge. Who will adjudicate? At this point, it no longer matters which camp I am in. This debate might be prolonged, and we are unable (at this time) to forecast the result. Is knowledge power?
