A mate of mine said this to me years back when I was still an engineer.
At the time, I didn't fully appreciate how true it was, until a job made it crystal clear.
We were called in to inspect a caravan park.
Complaints coming in, the main switch kept tripping.
Turns out, a body corporate rep had picked up a little bit of advice about circuit breaker sizing, good intentions, no doubt, and had the majority of them swapped out across the whole park.
The problem?
Nobody replaced the cable sizing to match.
A bunch of circuits were now undersized for the load they were carrying.
What looked like a fix had quietly become a fire hazard.
That story stuck with me.
And the longer I've worked as a Holistic Back Pain Specialist, the more I see the exact same thing play out.
Someone gets a vague diagnosis, watches a few YouTube videos, starts a program and doubles down on the very movement patterns making things worse.
Back pain isn't one thing, and it never has been:
• Is it on the left or the right?
• Is there a disc herniation involved?
• Nerve pain?
• Inflammation?
• Postural loading?
• A movement pattern that's been compensating for years?
A little bit of information might get you moving, but without the full picture, you're potentially rewiring a circuit with the wrong cable.
The fix has to match the actual problem.
A little bit of information isn't the destination.
It's the signal to dig deeper, ask better questions, and find someone who will actually assess you, not just your symptom.
Have you ever been on the receiving end of someone's "little bit of knowledge" in any industry?
