peer agreement (net): +1A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.... Explanation: Don't know if that is the quotation in the book, but it is a common expression. (Fountain of Knowledge, for the second bit is also common.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-12-11 13:33:04 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Alexander Pope\'s Essay on Criticism has \"A little learning is a dangerous thing...\" This is full of aphorisms that have become part of everyday use, so Sutherland may be quoting from it. |
