Wit is cleverness rendered honorable -- if not by serving wisdom, at least by battling foolishness.
Many languages have multiple words for knowledge. German distinguishes between wissen and kennen, Spanish between saber and conocer, French connaître and savoir. In English, one can be canny. Something can be beyond our ken. But only in the court is one able to wit as an activity. 

We should restore honor to wit -- if not as much as to wisdom, then at least more than to mere cleverness.
