I don't know about the statistics, but the issue of expressing the
normally unstated knowledge constantly appears in ontological engineering.

Encoding such "common sense" knowledge, which is assumed but not stated,
was a major part of Doug Lenat's original dream for Cyc.  He wanted to
encode enough information to cover the unstated parts of any encyclopaedia
article.  His idea was that by encoding merely the assertions in the
article, the information in Cyc would be sufficient background so that
any question about the material could be answered by the system the
same way a person who didn't know the subject could after reading the
article.
