“Explicit knowledge, conventionally delivered like pizza (neat boxes with toppings of concepts, theories, best practices and war stories), is consumed by the brain but not metabolized into action.

“I have a theory about American men -- I think they think women are boys who don't know how to throw a ball very well.
