On the other hand, a little knowledge is often worse that no knowledge at all.

A lack of experience using abstract concepts - the experience which can only be gained by learning much more of, let's say, abstract algebra, than just the definition of monoid - will inevitably lead to wasting one's time or, worse yet, to the finished product being an over-engineered monstrosity.
