Greetings dear Andrew,

There are many persons with the name JS Bell, a few famous, a few
notorious and the majority unknown.

One (in ;-)famous JSW Bell was a theoretical phsyicist who took up the
lead from another (in)famous physisist D Boehm handed over to him by one
of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics L de Broglie. They all were
great to me, but notorious to the many hard-disciplinary physicists,
because of their sensitivity to wholeness. As a result they all came
deeply under the impression that quantum mechanics has a tacit dimension
to it. Consequently its formal (tangible) dimension was incomplete and
thus confusing. The hard disciplinarists wanted to make sense out if it
because did they not make some measurements which supposedly had to have
some meaning? To make sense out of the data the hard disciplinarists
imported probability theory. This was like waving a red flag to Einstein.

Its really crazy how the same human dynamics unfolds when Michael
Polanyi's concept of "tacit knowing" comes into the picture of learning.
Why be troubled by tacit knowing when it cannot be measured by tests?

I hope this is enough?

With care and best wishes
