As always, there's a webcomic for that: https://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2475

Technical people with some knowledge of a topic will often find themselves on the peak of mount stupid (see comic).

In other words, knowing just enough to feel like you know a lot, not knowing enough to realize how much you don't know.

And... well university education often doesn't succeed in teaching people to estimate their knowledge on a subject appropriately. "I don't know but I want to know more!" isn't a very common outcome when a topic comes up. I think it really has to do with people who spend a lot of time being the most knowledgable one on most topics around getting used to just having an answer whether or not it's correct.
