Being pretty blunt here. I have a hard time taking your suggestions on documentation seriously when you’re redefining a well established term. “Tacit knowing” was introduced by Michael Polanyi in 1958. Its meaning has generally held in modern usage. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_knowledge https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_knowledge There’s also a meaningful critique here that documentation is not a solution to tacit knowledge sharing. It doesn’t work. To answer your bike question, you learn a bike by riding it. There’s skill progressions and tips and mental models to share, but you absolutely can’t learn to ride a bike by reading docs. There are skills that are only learned through experience and mentorship. People try otherwise and it usually fails. Do you have evidence otherwise? Do you have a case where you were able to pass tacit knowledge efficiently to a large group of people through docs?
