It was an act of deliberate disobedience to God's direct admonition not to eat of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Having eaten of it, Adam and Eve learned of good and evil for the first time so you have a point. On the other hand, Judeo-Christian religions have always been fuzzy about the nature of sin and whether knowing that an act was sinful was an essential ingredient of a sinful act.
