The method of implicit learning
Do you think learning something implicitly and using said thing so oftern it can become an assumed common knowledge?
In an unbaised view it can be right or wrong.
Examples of such things:
How we learn.
A song.
Tightening a nut.
A particular culture.
If some of these things were right then it may look like:
The practice of logical and critical thinking.
Knowing the song and its lyrics.
Using a torque wrench to the specified torque.
Learning from the culture itself.
If they were wrong:
Assumptions and biases to create a result.
Knowing a vague part of the song with no lyrics.
Hand tightening a nut to an assumed torque.
Learning about culture from the news.
Thoughts?

When I studied engineering, we had an instructor that almost beat it into us that the machines might all look the same and do the same thing but there are some differences. He told us to learn how to do the job but that we should always rely on the manuals for the details.
During a workshop one of the guys broke a finger when the torque wrench slipped off a broken bolt. Before the guy could be taken to the hospital he got a roasting for not looking up the correct torque for the bolt because he assumed it was just like the ones he was used to working with everyday.
I still blame that guy because I cannot remember phone numbers. "Look the numbers up in the book" he would tell us every time we started a job.
I guess the instructor beat out the implicit learning xD
Maybe, but I still would like to thank him for training people properly.
