Because experiential knowledge cannot be packaged in words, a teacher cannot hand it to a student. The teacher's real job is to arrange conditions under which the learner generates the perceptual and motor patterns themselves — through targeted attempts, immediate feedback, and correction. Apprenticeship worked because it embedded the learner in those conditions; lectures alone transfer only the propositional layer.
