I find tacit knowledge a very interesting subject. I wonder how many things have been passed on from our ancestors. How many things do we know tacitly just because of evolution? It really does make sense that tacit knowledge is passed down that way. The members of a population that are predisposed to react in fear in regards to a predator are more likely to survive than those who aren't. It's strange how our opinions and decisions could be influenced unconsciously by relics like those. How much do we do unconsciously?
