This is a really good post and articulates a lot of the challenges well, and I like and can relate to the bakery example.
From my POV the hard-to-transmit tacit skill of transmitting tacit knowledge benefits greatly from a couple of things:
1) For a given learner, first learn enough background to know some basic terminology and be able to ask basic questions to prepare yourself to dive deeper, then get direct, hands-on coaching and ongoing mentoring from multiple experienced practitioners.
2) For a given teacher, develop enough broad understanding of fields outside your own, and enough understanding about how humans-in-general think and reason, to be able to efficiently figure out how a given audience thinks, what they know, and what avenues and metaphors and examples are likely to lead to learning. Listen mindfully, and be ready and willing to change course mid-conversation (or other live modality) as needed.
