knowledge gained as an asset or a burden...

[old3bob]

 

give some examples or sayings along this line if you are inclined to do so:

 

"to whom much is given much is expected"

"be careful what you wish for, you might just get it"

too much of a good thing gone awry

"don't bite off more than you can chew"

"The truth will set you free"

"I had it and I lost it"

Those look more like foxes to me.

( Before the internet .... we would 'look things up' in nature .  Of course, then one has to adapt (or reverse ) the natural principle to the process in hand .)
