It's tacit knowledge and it can be so difficult to articulate that it generally requires interaction between people. The more multidimensional knowledge is, the more difficult it is to stuff it into a flat report. It flourishes in, and is nourished by, conversation. Now, a conversation can't always be had, but it pays to be aware of the balance sheet, of what is won and lost. And if you think of conversation as the platonic ideal, it gives you a handle on how to approach knowledge sharing through documents.
Information can become just noise.
But it can be made better. By including authors who can be contacted, so you can follow up with questions. It goes back to the platonic or ideal model. And then you can take it to the next level. And that gets closer to a conversation.
