Better to be ignorant of a matter than half know it.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is preferable to be completely ignorant about a subject rather than having only a partial understanding of it. When we have incomplete knowledge, our judgment and decision making can be compromised, leading to potential errors or misunderstandings. Being unaware of a matter allows room for seeking comprehensive information in the future and ensures that our actions are not based on flawed or limited understanding. It emphasizes the importance of acquiring proper knowledge rather than relying on inadequate or superficial understanding.
