Summary

This quote suggests that experts in a specific field tend to deepen their knowledge in a narrow area, becoming highly specialized. However, as they focus more on the minutiae, they may risk losing perspective and insight into broader topics. Eventually, their expertise becomes so specific that it may seem insignificant or irrelevant to those who possess a more generalized understanding. Therefore, this quote emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between specialization and maintaining a broader perspective.
