Polanyi's work "The Tacit Dimension" is one of my favorites! You can teach calligraphy fundamentals, the principles of hardness and grinding, but it's hard to tell someone how to use a pencil to write. You never think of how you use it while writing, it becomes an extension of the body like a cane allows the blind to feel the world. Maybe Video Games in a genre also feel like they have a bit of this quality, where familiar interfaces allow hard to explain expertise. What virtual tools give the same opportunity for depth of understanding? For me, the old Photoshop UI and VI come to mind.
