Cancer Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Certainly more dangerous than a lot of knowledge. But certainty in the absence of knowledge is the most dangerous of all. Netzilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netzilla Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'd call it a toss-up. Someone with a little knowledge can sound more convincing than someone completely ignorant. Still more dangerous, however are experts who ignore any data contradictory to their preconceived (or bought) ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Not to know is bad. To strive not to know is evil. To block others from trying to learn is satanic. I'm borrowing this for the Book of Face, if you have no objection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Another sentiment, whose correct attribution (usually to Mark Twain) is unclear (you can't find it in his works): "It ain't what you don't know that hurts you. It's all them things you do know that ain't so." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 If guessing a woman's age or height (hopefully a gun is being held to your head if you doing this in the first place) always take the "Price Is Right" principle. Guess low. You do not want to go over the actual amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
