Much knowing
Hello....
I feel that if the underlined part is changed to "much knowing", it will be ungrammatical, or at least unnatural.
Is this correct understanding?
Many people are prejudiced against certain religions, races, nationalities, or other groups without really knowing much about them.

pructusmuch knowingThat inversion of gerund and adverb doesn't work in this sentence, but the grammatical pattern is not entirely unknown. I found this online:
