Comment: What David refers to as implicit knowledge in this quotation, I would call tacit knowledge.Implicit knowledge isn’t explicit knowledge that we’re not currently thinking about.
Implicit knowledge isn’t there the way ore is buried.
It’s “there” only in the sense that we can generate it when required.
Most simply: That we can come up with an answer doesn’t mean that the answer was lying dormant in us all along.
Answering questions is a creative act.
