Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers
Practical intelligence includes things like “knowing what to say to whom, knowing when to say it, and knowing how to say it for the maximum.” It is procedural: it is about knowing how to do something without necessarily knowing why you know it or being able to explain it. It’s practical in nature: that is, it’s not knowledge for its own sake. It’s knowledge that helps you read situations correctly and get what you want.

The one thing you don’t want… is air in the conversation.
Thank you, as well, for the conversational hiatus. I generally refrain from speech during gestation. There are those who attempt both at the same time… I find it coarse and vulgar.
