Not exclusionary. Knowing it would be best to avoid being hit over the head by hammer, is not the same as experiencing being hit over the head with a hammer. Knowing you should avoid it and roughly why, and knowing what it's like when it happens are still very different things. (This is Bertrand Russell's distinction between "knowledge by description" and "knowledge by acquaintance.")
