Knowing more details often means knowing a skewed set of details and gives you more parameters to to weight in order to reach the conclusion you were most comfortable with. Personal experience makes *that* your skewed set of details.

These will make you great at arguing against people who hold beliefs that ignore the details your hold. They will not necessarily make you good at seeing the whole picture
