Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes it's more helpful to know just a small amount of something correctly than to have lots of wrong ideas about it. Imagine you are learning to cook. It's more useful to really know how to make one dish well than to try making many dishes without really understanding any of the recipes. If you misunderstand a lot, you can end up making a lot of mistakes and get confused. But if you understand a little, you can do that little thing right and build more knowledge on it later. This approach can save you from making big errors and help you grow your skills step by step. In life, it’s okay to focus on learning small pieces at a time deeply and correctly.
