Can someone write a summary of each, Tacit and

I've got $40,000 of my own cash riding on this--should
I spend it on a PHD in tech writing or an engineering
degree in the field I write about (or blow it on a new
Corvette????)
<g>
Seriously, I write about engineering software. I feel
a burning need to assume my audience are engineers
with degrees and little experience. I take it from
there--walking, digging fence post holes, and ancient
greek heroes (or was it dinosaurs--Promegaladon??)
don't enter into it. Maybe a PHD in technical writing
could figure it out and write a paper for us on it.
Cheers,

P.S. I learned to walk a long time ago, but never
really to run very well. I wonder if I need more
experience or a PHD in running to better figure it out?
