As I'm interpreting it, it's a cautionary statement against worshipping ignorance. It's brave and difficult to do something that's dissimilar to the ways you've learned and become powerful through performing. It's foolish to dive in without learning all that you can about what those who have been here before discovered. I don't think it's cautioning against diving in prematurely. It's cautioning against thinking you'll do better than those who have come before by pure virtue of not knowing what yhey've done.
