They say half knowledge is more dangerous. This is true with regard to science.  Let me explain how. 

If People try to do things with half knowledge, they will do more harm than good. I have seen this with my own eyes: Artists and writers damaging Nature with half knowledge. Their intensions are good. But their beliefs, opinions, art, superstitions, strange interpretations and all things stupid come in between their intensions and screw up their actions. 

Earlier I have written on how an artist was consuming lots of power, instead of helping with save it, with her 'enlightening' art work. You can read it here:

I said then - problems will arise if one cannot see the whole picture like the scientists do.

Artists and writers, please, please learn things properly before doing anything.

Now I came across other similar stories ( Source: AP, YOUTUBE).

Artist accused of damaging environment in Mexico

A Polish artist famed for slipping crocheted covers around unlikely objects has run afoul of environmental authorities in Mexico for slipping her brightly colored work around underwater sculptures near Cancun.

Agata Oleksiak says she intervened at the Cancun Underwater Museum this month to call attention to the dangers facing species such as the whale shark.

But museum director Jaime Gonzalez says she herself actually may have damaged marine life growing on the sculptures in the environmentally protected area. Gonzalez says prosecutors are preparing to lodge charges against her.

Hmmm. Artists, be careful while dealing with science subjects. It is important to see the whole picture. If you do things with half knowledge this is what happens!

'Half knowledge is always dangerous'. I know it is boring to hear this over and over again. And it is difficult to follow too. So...

Get ready to face the consequences now! Or try to get informed fully.

Surrounded Islands: Artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude stirred up a massive controversy in 1983 when they used 6.5 million sq ft of pink plastic to surround 11 islands in Biscayne Bay, Florida, USA.

Environmentalists were furious at the idea, and a federal trial came to a head just months before the installation.

This is what half knowledge looks like:

A writer while writing a story for a TV serial wanted to tell nice things about Nature and its protection. So she made the heroin lecture it to the hero - great I thought.

Then to my shock the heroine makes several ( about 22!) paper boats, writes all her wishes on the boats and leaves them in the water and tells the hero if she does that her wishes will come true! Even the hero helps her in littering the water body! 

Now what if everybody starts doing this after watching this? I got annoyed and left this comment on  the You Tube video page where this was posted (some of them removed the videos!):
