Responding to At de Lange in LO28464 --
I meant to post this to the list but, as it turns out, I simply hit the
reply key and so sent it only to At.

Thanks At. It would seem that the 2x2 has been a mainstay of thinkers for
a LONG time. It has also been the bread-and-butter of many consulting
firms for a long time too.

No; not until you mentioned it; but, now that you have, I did and I do see
the connection. Would that make "unconscious incompetence" tacit
ignorance? It seems that "conscious competence" would be a fit with
articulable knowledge (i.e., knowledge that is or can be made explicit).
Where would "conscious incompetence" fit? Explicit ignorance?
Hmm. There's a 2x2 for you:
Conscious Unconscious
Explicit Tacit
Competence Knowledge Knowledge
Explicit Tacit
Incompetence Ignorance Ignorance
