Ryle is inclined only to call the exercise of the latter ability an exercise of knowledge-how.
But the act will only count as an exercise of knowledge-how will only count as an intelligent act—if our consideration of the proposition is something we knowledge-how will isn't itself nonlyntelligent.
If our consideration of the proposition is somehow accidental or related in a haphazard way to the performance of the act, then the act won't count as intelligent or an exercise of knowledge-how.
Therefore, the consideration of the act had itself better be an exercise of knowledge-how and so had better if intellectualism is right be preceded by another consideration of a proposition.
More important, when one reflects upon any exercise of knowledge, whether practical or theoretical, it appears to have the characteristics that would naïvely be ascribed to the exercise of both practical and intellectual capacities.
If all exercise of knowledge-how is preceded by a prior consideration of a proposition, the prior consideration is an act.
Some scholars (e.g., Sax 2010 and Rosefeldt 2004) think that Ryle should only be taken as attempting to show the minimal conclusion that Ginet grants: that not all exercises of knowledge-how are preceded by intelligent consideration of propositions.
Effective proposal writing means recognizing that writing grant proposals is an inherently social act, an exercise in the collective construction of knowledge: knowledge of what research we want to conduct, of what research NSF is looking to fund, of what research researchers in our fields find valid.
The idea is that contestants are exercising a degree of knowledge and skill in choosing players for a team, arranging lineups and making changes along the way.
Indeed, in sociological terms, trust is the 'glue' that holds those relations and performances in place [ 64], and it is important to recognize that the professional's action in the clinical encounter is a good deal more than the exercise of technical knowledge and practice, but also requires significant investment in the ethical handling of the patient [ 65].
Holders of expert knowledge are supposed to be reliable in the exercise of that knowledge; they are professionals, and part of their professionalism is to ply their trade competently regardless of the weight of passion or the blandishments of pleasure.
