Does it matter that your personal circumstances influence how seriously your knowledge is taken?

The correct answer is: "Yes, it does".

Explanation:

Personal circumstances have to do with subjective experiences, including childhood, schooling, inheritance, economic background, culture and language, besides other factors. Therefore, it really matters for the development of every kind of knowledge because it affects psychologically how people deal with knowledge, how they may develop it, or even how they may have the opportunity and access to develop new knowledge and experiences.
