When you put it that way, combined with the fact that "first-hand knowledge" is based upon experience which differs from person to person despite how they like to personify what they have to offer (which isn't much in most cases; and for that matter how it's fudged from person to person to appease their thoughts and motivations), I'd call them equal with one another. Something as simple as an encyclopedia article (from someplace like Britannica, etc.) or an Associated Press story will do, thank you.
