Fair enough. Obviously, tacit knowledge is not beyond the capacity of AI (e.g., self-driving vehicles, robotic manufacturing, etc). So, I'm surprised ...

Delusion is believing something contrary to fact. Case in point: Believing that an "is" (fact) can be separated from an "ought" (value) when awareness...
