Conversations That Share Tacit Knowledge

However, my experience with these kinds of on-line discussions is that members who respond to a question rarely ask for any context. Rather they respond in declarative statements about their own experience or they offer their own rules of thumb.

How does a motorbike turn? by John Seely Brown

This article on tacit knowledge titled How does a motorbike turn? by John Seely Brown is an excellent very short introduction to the subject of tacit knowledge.

But this is an example of just how mysterious the tacit is and how getting at that, and bringing that up to the surface so that you can do something about it is incredibly complicated.
