But the way it was said was responsible not half knowledge.

Half Knowledge can be devastating. Victims of half knowledge are mostly those who are either always in a hurry or too confident of themselves and their knowledge bank. Later when they realize their mistake, they thoroughly regret it. 

But, it is these half knowledged are ruling the roost. These Half knowledged scholars are well known for creating controversies.

Not many are ready to accept their mistakes , would rather argue and remain stubborn rather than accept ! 

Dogmatic, stubborn and stick to their own point of view. These are those people will never are willing to give space and time to others.

Well said , only problem is most people who lecture never follow their own advise , so it is back to square one !

I believe a lack of knowledge is better than those who have a little knowledge or possess half knowledge about any subject. It's always a superficial knowledge which can never give a proper insight into any relevant subject.

Half knowledge becomes hazardous only when a person tries to show it has a lot of knowledge. But there is a to way convert half knowledge into adequate knowledge and it only happens if learn to learn from someone in any way because no one can say that he contains that much knowledge as much as no one can.While on other side lots of knowledge is harmful too. When a person thinks that he had acquired a lot of knowledge then he/she becomes overconfident.                                                                                               " A Little Knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is the lot."                                                                                                                                                                                                                            -Albert Einstein

A person who is very knowledgeable is normally level headed and does not feel the need to show off his or her knowledge unless called for. It is the ones with half baked knowledge that feel the need to show off ..a wiser person will definitely add on and try to Gain knowledge rather than take a narrow minded view on all issues  that the half baked minds would do , limiting their interest to what comes within the sphere of their own limited knowledge

More knowledgeable person's overconfidence is rare but it is. They think they know everything and do not try to understand another one's point of view.
