A little knowledge is a dangerous thing?

Asked by phoenyx (7401points) May 21st, 2009

A little Learning is a dang’rous Thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring:
There shallow Draughts intoxicate the Brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.

—Alexander Pope, from An Essay on Criticism

Do you agree or disagree (and why)? If you agree, can you provide examples? Where is the line between dangerous and not?
