"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" was first used by Alexander Pope in An Essay on Criticism (1709). It means that a small amount of knowledge can lead people to believe they know more about something than they really do.

Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744) wrote 'An Essay on Criticism' in 1709. In it he wrote: "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again." The modern meaning translates to mean that people with a small amount of knowledge often think that they have more 'expertise' than they really do. Sometimes, when this percieved 'expertise' translates into action, it can result in unpredictable, or even tragic consequences.

The phrase "A little learning is a dangerous thing" is from the poem "An Essay on Criticism" by Alexander Pope. It suggests that having a small amount of knowledge can be more harmful than not having any knowledge at all because it can lead to overconfidence and errors in judgment.
The quote "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring" is from Alexander Pope's poem "An Essay on Criticism." It warns against the dangers of superficial knowledge and encourages seeking deep understanding instead. The Pierian spring refers to a source of knowledge in ancient Greek mythology.
"'A little reading is an exceedingly dangerous thing'"(Paterson 41). Ezekial said this to Lyddie and that helped her realize that she must first be taught to become free.
These two things are a body of knowledge and a process.

With the air hole fully open, the flame will be fierce, but I doubt if it can be said to be dangerous. Simply close the air hole a little.
