I think you're right to see the parallel, but I think wrong to 
strictly assimilate them in this way.  The distinctions of 
tactics/strategy and what/how are definitely parallel, but 
the what/how I was discussing with Krimel, I think, is at a 
different level some of the time.  For instance, wondering 
about what we should talk to with other people, "the what" 
or "the how"?  That's a tactical curiosity, which makes the 
what/how subsumed underneath the tactics half of the 
tactics/strategy.

We can alter the relationships between the two distinctions 
to generate different questions, but to just assimilate 
"tactics" to "what" is blur away the possibility of wondering 
(in a confusion of levels to make my point) tactically useful 
to talk about tactics.
