"An easily understood, workable falsehood is more useful than a complex, incomprehensible truth. Complex problems have simple, easy-to-understand wrong answers." Murphey
“Calvin: The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action. Once you are informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray. You realize nothing is as clear as it first appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing. Being a man of action, I cannot afford to take that risk. Hobbes: You're ignorant, but at least you act on it.” "paralysis by analysis", vs. "extinct by instinct"
