It seems we rediscover Gilbert Ryle's knowing-how vs knowing-that distinction every few years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Ryle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Ryle or if you are so inclined https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/knowledge-how/ https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/knowledge-how/ Note: if you have a computer and it can be "told" once and forever remember it, then converting know-that into know-how by teaching it 100s of if-then rules was, at one point, considered a worthy research program.
