I’ve heard that the last bit is still true for specific trades. Manuals are not enough. For instance, France stopped building nuclear reactors for a generation and now they take forever to build a new one, with plenty of technical issues.
Oh, tribal knowledge is still extremely important in most trades, it’s just not the “Start over from scratch” level of obliteration that you see without records of how/why to perform the technical processes on a basic level.
