I think that's different though, that's "doing" rather than just "knowing". You can ride a bike without knowing how it works, and obviously vice-versa too. I don't see circuit diagrams as "doing" though, but the soldering part of building circuits definitely is that way though, you can't just read about it and excel first time you pick up an iron, you have to practice and understand it with your body, like bicycling.

Yet I know it even when I am not doing it.

I bet you have dozens of skills you cannot represent in words.
