Explanation

The proverb 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing' warns that having partial understanding can be worse than knowing nothing at all, because it leads to overconfidence and poor decisions. This is from Alexander Pope's poem 'An Essay on Criticism.' Good, nice, and ugly don't capture the warning about risks that 'dangerous' provides.
