@davill Early read on this statement suggest that it clearly doesn't deliver the message that was needed. It didn't produce sufficient thrust. Problem seems systemic.

“We are now at the beginning of an age where we will have more information than we can possibly process. But let me remind you: Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. And wisdom is not foresight. Each grows out of the other, and we need them all. Before you become too entranced with gorgeous gadgets, remember that the goal is not to have more information, but to have more understanding.”
— Arthur C. Clarke
