Stu Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Yes I most whole hearlty agree! Someone (who shall remain nameless and venueless) once wired 4 16A male to male TRS leads.... Hmmm. And he was full time. And I've often heard "no don't show him, A little knowledge is a dangerous thing". :o Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 isnt a little knowledge better than none? and isnt a little knowledge what we all had before we hopefully got a lot more of it, its a good place to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 In my experience (I'm not too sure about others) my full timers have had cassies who have been nothing but humpers/stage crew, and have decided that giving them even the slimest bit of knowledge would not be a good idea!

Rob Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I usually find the problem is those with a little knowledge professing to have far more than they actually do! It often seems to be an issue with older teachers, who aren't so good at admitting to gaps in their knowledge... :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpdesigner Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Pride is also a factor, some people will not admit that they don't know something....in this business, the pressure is on for you to know everything, But the separation between the professional and the hack is... if the pro doesn't know something, he will get you the person who does. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Need Posted June 6, 2003 Author Share Posted June 6, 2003 There is another saying which goes along with the one above........ "The more you know.. the more you NEED to know" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Need Posted June 6, 2003 Author Share Posted June 6, 2003 but no knowledge can be deadlyI would probably have to go against what you say.. if you know nothing....... you would NOT try and do something. like... say rewire a 200A TPNE supply............. if you know a little........... thinking you know more that you do... this is when it gets serious............. see my point?

ace Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 you would NOT try and do something. like... say rewire a 200A TPNE supply Surely if you had no knowledge at all, you would be quite happy to have a play with a 200A supply, not knowing the results! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Surely if you had no knowledge at all, you would be quite happy to have a play with a 200A supply, not knowing the results! good point, and with a little knowledge you might have the sense to try to get some help, like I said its the first step to lots of knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
