The second part of that adage was added on I believe centuries after the attestation of the first part. It's still a nice saying, of course. I think there's a third part to the phrase but I can't remember it for the life of me.
- emseetech 2y agoThat's true, but the original phrase was from the 1500's so added centuries later could still mean centuries of usage. It's important to not see any iteration of the phrase as either praise or insult. There is nothing wrong with being a specialist or a generalist, only that there are uses for both.
