We Know More Than We Can Tell.

The Information In Dna Could No More Be Reduced To The Chemical Than Could The Ideas In A Book Be Reduced To The Ink And Paper: Something Beyond Physics And Chemistry Encoded Dna.

I Shall Reconsider Human Knowledge By Starting From The Fact That We Can Know More Than We Can Tell.

Our Reliance On The Validity Of A Scientific Conclusion Depends Ultimately On A Judgment Of Coherence; And As There Can Exist No Strict Criterion For Coherence, Our Judgment Of It Must Always Remain A Qualitative, Nonformal, Tacit, Personal Judgment.

Admittedly, Scientific Authority Is Not Distributed Evenly Throughout The Body Of Scientists; Some Distinguished Members Of The Profession Predominate Over Others Of A More Junior Standing.

While Tacit Knowledge Can Be Possessed By Itself, Explicit Knowledge Must Rely On Being Tacitly Understood And Applied. Hence All Knowledge Is Either Tacit Or Rooted In Tacit Knowledge. A Wholly Explicit Knowledge Is Unthinkable.
