few are willing to admit that in some cases ignorance is what holds things together.
The emperor is wearing no clothes? Religion? "A classic is a book everyone says is important, but no one gets around to reading."
I think a big part of the problem is deep knowledge and intimate knowledge vs. shallow knowledge. You see this a lot in programming and computer science. Sometimes almost no knowledge is fine, but just a little bit more is dangerous, whereas a lot of it would be much more beneficial. This also goes for knowing your neighbors.
