Knowledge, how much ever exact it is, does not often lead to appropriate actions because we do not know how to process it properly for reasons completely independent of acquiring the knowledge.
An Illustration:
In our primary school science class we were told that any kind of snake cannot strike or move as fast as our hand. If you compare the reaction rates of snakes and humans, this fact is blindingly evident. Still, how many of us armed with this knowledge can put it into action when encountered by a snake. If one were to process the knowledge logically, one should be able to catch the snake and throw it away before it could strike us. But because of what is called as fear factor we cannot do it.
To surmise, knowledge is interlinked with many non tangible factors and possession of knowledge alone cannot get us any where
