Assuming that you keep your interest, you'd continue to learn, as well as gain experience. I guess I'm having trouble understanding how knowledge and experience can have a negative impact on anything?

I know this.When I was a boy/young man, I thought my dad was a terrible hunter, cause he never killed crap, that I saw, but later learned that he didn't kill crap while I was there because of me!
When I was twenty I didn't agree with my opinions from when I was ten.
When I was thirty I didn't agree with my opinions from when I was twenty.
I'm thirty four now, and I'm pretty sure that I won't agree with what I'm saying now when I'm forty!
So do me a favor and forget what I just said...
