First, I have used (as Polanyi) "tacit knowing" and not "tacit knowledge".
Now you understant why...

Second: you said:

>That wisdom is tacit (but not tacit
>knowledge) to those whom the knowledge cannot be articulated.

Here we go again: tacit knowing is the one that CAN NOT be
articulated (by no one)...
