You would have to ask God. God forbade Adam and Eve from eating of that tree. If they obeyed God in that regard there would be no need for them to be aware of the knowledge of good and evil because, before sin, everything was good. You write about this in every post in this thread and others. Why is this so important to you?

the scripture connects nakedness to the exposing of one's shame.
before they had sin, they had no reason to be ashamed.
they clothed themselves because they were ashamed - insufficiently ((of course))
however when they confessed their sin and looked to Him, God gave them garments able to cover their shame, through the shedding of blood. innocent blood, poured out for the forgiveness of sin.
substitutionary atonement
only God can provide such a covering -- 'can a man give his life a ransom for his soul?'

the Bible does not say comprehension of moral choice is forbidden.
God forbade eating of the tree - He did not forbid wisdom, or knowledge, or understanding
God did not create us to be ignorant or to despise knowledge.
God does not call ignorance, lack of wisdom, lack of understanding or lack of discernment "good"
one of Satan's lies speaking to Woman was that God had purposefully created her as a fool and wished to keep her from having wisdom.
whenever you find yourself agreeing with Satan, it should raise a big red flag.

Sometimes I wonder if the sin was not so much the act of eating from the tree but partaking of the knowledge of good and evil by listening to the devil's manipulation of questioning what God had said therefore entertaining wisdom/knowledge of good and evil. Before they heard from God and believed. Then when the devil tempted they almost heard a different side (an evil one, that seemed appealing to them and were tricked into) and they partook of it. Maybe once we only knew good, what God had said. We didn't know of anything evil and then our eyes were opened and it has been downhill since. That's why we have to renew our mind to the word of God and get rid of wordly thinking that we are entrenched with. I don't even know if that makes sense. I am not the best at explaining things and I tend to see things from a different angle to the norm.
