What does 'knowledge preceed's skill' mean?
This means having facts helps you to gain a skill e.g. you can’t ride a bike (the skill) without knowing the facts or knowledge of how the pedals work and how to use the brakes.
This means having the facts does not necessarily mean you can gain the skill

This means that you should learn a skill first and then learn the facts about it afterwards
