Since we're now past the one-year point, it would be interesting if you could revisit this topic.

I guess I meant that Tiger didn't know it was wrong in the sense that he only knew it was considered "socially" wrong and that he would be in deep scheise if he got caught. What I meant is that he didn't know/think it was wrong "for him". In cases like this it's obvious that everyone (excluding psychopaths etc...) knows it's considered wrong to cheat in a committed relationship. But only the people who see it as beneficial to them not to cheat "Know" it's wrong... In other words, he obviously thought it was OK to cheat because it felt right to him, as long as he didn't get caught...so in that sense, he didn't "know" it was wrong. I think we could say the way he played it out, he was being stupid...leaving a huge trail...probably a bit more out of touch with reality than your average Joe the plumber... That's where he needed to get more grounded, to fully understand the implications of his actions and realize/feel what it could do to his family if he got caught... Anyway, sorry for the long drawn out comment, I'll work on improving my brevity for any future comments. Love the show, keep it up guys and gal!
