Michael Polanyi[1] introduced the topic of tacit knowledge in his short book (100 pages), "The Tacit Dimension". The blog series only mentions Polanyi in passing in its third article. And only indirectly references his book in a dismissive tone, because "this blog is a practitioner's blog: it is interested in what is useful, not what is `true`". Well, regardless of what the author's blog is about, it is still important to grapple with the original idea. In his book, Polanyi also uses the idea of tacit knowledge to tackle a question from Plato's famous Socratic dialogue, 'Meno': "can virtue be taught?" You can find an excellent English translation of 'Meno' in Hackett's "Five Dialogues"[2] publication. A superb short book with a great selection of five short Platonic dialogues; reading it gives a richer picture of Polanyi's ideas. It[2] also serves as a great intro to Plato.
