Not at all! Only because the same expression "tacit knowledge" is used in
both formulas you are assuming that the expression has the same meaning in
both, which is not true. You should have writen "tacit knowledge-Art" in
the first one and "tacit knowledge-At" in the second one ;-)
I am affraid the same is also true about "formal knowledge". So I have
almost proved that any discussion is always impossible, unless we define
the terms used... In what concerns "tacit knowledge" I have tried to do
that in my last mail to At.

I am not sure if I have an O/s, but at least I have an H/s [H from
(personal) History] and some d/s (d from doubts ;-)

Your questions are very interesting indeed. But to answer them I will need
a long mail that I have not the time to write now (or even more than one).
And I will have to change the subject because "tacit knowledge" and
Polanyi are only a small part of a much larger problem that I have tried
to solve many years ago in what concerns my personnal history and in these
last months in what respects LO's.
I am refering to metanoia as you have probably already understood. I
promise to come back to your questions in a different mail.
Best wishes
Artur
