The first thing to learn, when there is something you do not know.....is to learn how much you do not know about it....other wise you think you know it all, when you don't know s**t......

Building knowledge is like a building a house.....with out a good rigid foundation it is not worth s**t....

basics are necessary to learn more.....your knowledge "level" about a subject, is not better than the knowledge you have about the sub levels (basics) of that subject....

"you have to understand force before you can understand pressure....."

Knowing the fundamentals is a powerful tool to assess how new information fits reality. :)

I thought it was: " Those that think they know it all are real annoying to the ones that do".

If I could remember all of my mistakes i would be genius:)

Not to be political, but this sums it up.

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.

Knowledge is a funny thing.

In my line of work, there are some people with very specific knowledge about their particular cog in the machine. They tend to work almost exclusively with that thing.

Then, there are people who don't have that kind of specific knowledge, but have a better understanding of how all the cogs fit together and understand the ripple effects of various cogs having problems.

It's not that either of them has more knowledge than the other, and one is not more valuable than another. They each have their own strengths, which come into play in different situations.

Yes, the most valuable knowledge is knowing, or suspecting, that you dont know, and using informed networking behavior to get to the right understanding.

"understanding" as a word, is as debatable as the word "knowledge"....
I think we use "knowledge" for something we not necessary can back up....but we can't claim "understanding" unless we can back it up....little simplified....one have to under stand "force" and "area" before on can understand "pressure" (pressure=force/area), and one have to understand "distance" before one can understand "area" (area=distance x distance).....

or to understand what pressure is, we need to know what vacuum is....
