Default Knowledge vs Wisdom

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
A lot of knowledge without wisdom is more dangerous.
(Knowledge and Wisdom are not the same)

Though Krunchy may come to mind, this is intended
more for newbies newer than I am and I'm definitely
a newbie.

Acquiring power tools and only knowing how to turn
them on to rip, cross cut, route or bore is potentially
dangerous. Knowing how to set them up properly and
use them correctly reduces the risk of appendage
loss. Knowing which to use and when - that starts
getting into the wisdom part of this woodworking thing.

Knowledge, applied without wisdom, is what's going
to get one in trouble. "I will because I can." is often
the first step to grief. While gaining knowledge,
try including gaining some wisdom.

just a thought
