That's *recorded* knowledge. A lot of knowledge never gets recorded. For
example, many people have tried to recreate medieval trebuchets. All
they've got is a couple of crappy drawings, and so they had to guess and
invent to fill in a lot of blanks.
Damascus steel is a famous example.
Anyone who has tried to recreate medieval or ancient technology from
recorded documents has found that an awful lot of fairly crucial
information was left out.
