The contrast between knowing that and knowing how, or mental knowing and enactive knowing doesn't quite catch the key distinction. Knowing how is too broad a category, perhaps; a spider knows how to weave a web and many other curious things besides that one admires without envying. Better to distinguish what you know by concepts from what you know only musically. The two are mutually untranslatable, but the latter is knowledge in an entirely satisfactory form. No need is felt to translate it in any way. It's also possible that there are forms of knowing that marry the two.
