I often hear people refer to the tree as simply the "Tree of Knowledge", however that's not accurate. The tree is that of knowledge of good and evil - a specific type of knowledge. Obviously this means, or equates to, the tree of judgement - a determination that something is good or is evil.

So, then, the message seems to be that making judgement calls regarding what is good or evil was never meant for man.

Is this line of thinking sound, or have I misinterpreted the passage? If not, what does Genesis say about Judges? Obviously, it says that Judges poison our experience. Or, am I off base?

Regarding the following passage:

And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” Genesis 2:16-17

The tree is that of knowledge of good and evil - a specific type of knowledge. As an aside, knowledge requires experience at least via education (2nd hand) - working knowledge, aka actionable/useful/pragmatic understanding. 

Obviously this means, or equates to, the tree of judgement. A determination that something is good or is evil is a judgement.

So, then, the message seems to be that making judgement calls regarding what is good or evil was never meant for man.

Is this line of thinking sound, or have I misinterpreted the passage? Is it judgements that poison our experience. Or, am I off base?
