Probably no more specific, but I can try to be a little less allusive.

Some umpires hear "call strikes and outs" and begin to call them even where they don't belong.

Hence "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Or, as Pope would have it:
Quote:
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.
You can put your hackles down, Tee. Not that I'm telling you what to do....
