As I watch the show, I know who won, and I've seen her ride. I guess this must be sensory perception, because I saw her win and heard the announcer say she won. I also know that the way they portray her-as someone who is down to Earth, and cares for her animals on her own. I know this isn't true-she would absolutely not have time to do that with her schedule. Logically, she must have a groom. Someone else who isn't familiar with horse shows wouldn't be able to deduce this. I also know that, based on the "authority" way of knowing, the girl who did not win and was portrayed as a longshot, never had a chance of winning. People that I respect have asserted that only the kids who ride under famous trainers with high-six-figures horses can win. Someone who hadn't heard this may have been more likely to cheer for her and believe in the underdog. Finally, I preferred one of the trainers to the other one because I know that some of the things that the trainer I do not prefer does, and I consider them ethically wrong. This is, I believe, emotional perception! Someone who does not feel the same way as I do or know the backstory I know may not have the same preference that I do.
Anyways, I think I have sufficiently combined my nerd-dom with TOK, and over analyzed something seemingly simple-one of the cornerstones of this course, I'm coming to learn.
