That's something we've probably all noticed - Gell-Mann amnesia à la LLM.
But the opposite is also true: shallow basic knowledge about almost anything, instantly available in a form that directly applies to one's problem, is an incredible resource. Not only can you get pretty far on that alone, it also gets you moving in a way that inertia would otherwise have prevented. That's my experience at least.
