Genesis 3 Paradox

Genesis 3 paradox

Yuriy Stasyuk made the meme above, to highlight the apparent paradox in Genesis 3. If eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge makes you aware of good and evil, then how could Eve or Adam have been expected to realize that they were being asked to do something bad when they had not yet eaten it?

What do readers of this blog think? Has Stasyuk identified a genuine problem, a paradox in the logic of Genesis 3 as story?
