Discuss: "There is no idea so true it cannot be taken too far". (ie the world is complex, so even a broadly applicable principle is insufficient to give mostly right answers by itself). (Also, this seems like it should be an existing quote, but I couldn't find one.)

Ooh, I love it! Basically the same sentiment. It seems like it should be a common maxim.
