Yes, a little knowledge is dangerous. Incomplete knowledge of any subject will cause problems to the giver if he is questioned and asked to give details. Suppose a person is participating in the share market but does not have a deep insight in it. If someone seeks his advice and wants to invest somewhere and if that person without making a deep study advises him to invest in certain companies.If those companies go for a loos and their share value goes down very much the investor will lose all his money and blame the person who advised him. Again if you go to a 'quack' or a fake doctor and take his medical advise then you could lose your health if he gives you medicine that is dangerous.One should have thorough knowledge of any subject before giving any advise otherwise one could be in trouble.

yes i certainly think so. this is is equivalent to the saying ignorance of the law excuses no one. so we must keep ourselves informed and learn something new each day.

A little knowledge is never dangerous. Isn't the lack of knowledge that really gets us into trouble???? A little knowledge should just make you hunger for more.Go discover!! Actions without all the needed knowledge generates a learning experience!!

A little knowledge is dangerous if you are supposed to carry out some job and are not fully conversant with all aspects of it.If you blunder you and the firm where you are working will get a bad name.But otherwise in life we start with a small amount of knowledge and keep building on it.For instances some topic or hobby fires our imagination and we start making a study on it initially our knowledge and understanding will be minimal but as the days go by we are put in situations where we learn more about our topic of interest and gain knowledge.

I think a little knowledge can be dangerous, unless the knowledge you do possess is that you don't know anything and need to keep seeking answers/truth and learning.

It depends on how you will use that knowledge. Knowledge is not dangerous in any way moreover it's a double-edge sword in can cut the hindrances along the way but in the process it can cut you as well. It all depends on how you'll use the "blade of knowledge." Nothing in this world is dangerous except for people.
