RE: knowledge of good and evil:

'Knowledge' here should be read as (if you know Spanish) 'conocer' rather
than 'saber' (to be familiar with vs. to be aware of).  I know a lot about
Bill Clinton, but I don't know him.  The same Hebrew word is used later in
Genesis to say Adam knew his wife Eve and she gave birth.

So Adam and Eve (presumably) knew the difference between good and evil,
but they had not had experience with (knowledge of) good and evil.
