They aren't just ideas, i read that in semiconductor manufacturing these old heads have a tremendous amount of process knowledge that's never been written down.

I'd need to see specific examples. It's not clear to me that I'd consider this knowledge about the world but rather agreed upon conventions for how humans work together.
I do research on programming languages. There are many facts about programming languages that (1) nobody else knows and (2) I have not written down because I just haven’t had the time / opportunity.
The same happens all the time in mathematics.
