Simplified Meaning:
Thinking you know something when you actually don't can be more harmful than simply not knowing. When people believe they have the right information, they are less likely to seek out the truth or learn more. This false sense of knowledge can block curiosity and learning. For example, if someone thinks they know how to fix a car but actually doesn't, they might end up doing more damage because they won't ask for help or read a manual. In life, it’s important to stay open-minded and always question what you think you know. By staying humble and curious, we give ourselves the chance to truly learn and understand things better.
