In many ways, this quote is so true. The fact of the matter is that with more 'learning' and knowledge we acquire, and since knowledge is an accumulation of facts and hypotheses, the issue then lies for, facts to be facts, many a times, the fact may in actuality is an 'assumption' which has not proven wrong until someone challenges it - like Darwin's theory of evolution, till today it is not universally accepted and that is why it is still postulated as a 'theory' !
So, the more you learn, the more you realise that there is so much that you do not know and hence, in the overall universe of things, you actually know next to nothing with the exception of your area of specialization.
That area of specialization can and will be obsolete the moment you do not practice it and you retire into the wilderness of passive brain function.
