AS OF DECEMBER 2013, NEW DIVREI TORAH WILL NOT BE POSTED HERE; THEY WILL BE POSTED AT MY OTHER WEBSITE, BEIS VAAD, beisvaad.blogspot.com Existing posts on this website will not be updated, and if there will be any new posts here, while they will be Torah-oriented, will not be yeshivish.
In a private communication, great Unknown explained: He was offering her דעת and שכל See Rashi 3:6, esp the part about believing him because it gave her הנאה
Latin phrases will be deleted. If you can't find an equivalent in Hebrew, Aramaic, Yiddish, or English, go away. Posts are often edited to reflect or incorporate comments.
Note that the Schenirer/Scherman Effect was precisely the argument the נחש used to seduce חוה into eating from the עץ הדעת.
