Knowledge isn't power, acting on that knowledge is.
Similarily, Ideas are worthless without education.
There's a funny email I saw once about a consultant finding a faulty gauge amongst hundreds in a nuclear plant or something. He charged $10,000 for finding the bad gauge. Customer got outraged. So he modified the invoice. Fixing the gauge - $1, Knowing which gauge to fix, $9,999.
The flip side of this is when knowledgeable consultants don't get things done quickly. If you're going to hire someone at $5 overseas for 1000 hours, why not just pay someone more capable $5000 locally to get it done in a month (160 hours)?
Knowing which ideas to execute, when is the key.
