Are some types of knowledge more useful than others?

While learning something new of the world, most of time knowers are using several types of knowledge. Some of the types tend to be much popular then others and the relative importance of knowledge aquired through the rare used types of can be widely argued. But are some types of knowledge really more useful than others?

I chose the famous sneaker a photo of which was posted on internet and resulted in a lot of arguments about its actual colour. Users were devided into two camps - ones considered it grey-mint and other - white-pink. Me myself then relied on the types of aquiring the knowledge such as perception, intuition and faith. My confidence in the way what I felt the truth to be, the mint and grey sneaker, was unbeatable at that moment despite considering the existense of other options somewhere in the depths of my mind.

However, after a few years I decided to switch to the perception and reasoning combo and discovered that the knowledge I believed to be certainly true had a refuting scientific evidence: if we take a closer look through the same eyes, the author used the cold-toned flash which modified the colouring and it was actually pink and white.

This experience clearly illustrates the tendency of the knowledge gained through faith and the "gut feeling" to be in fact false which makes these types of knowledge less significant in useful in real life.
