That was me, Edwin, and I was not 100% serious. ; ) 

"Knowledge product" does have the same twang (to me) that "business
solution" has. It's a term that really doesn't say anything, and the reader
has to find out more. Book, online tutorial, instructional video, on the
other hand, convey real information. Another one is "information worker,"
two words taking up space in the universe and conveying absolutely no
meaning.
