On the surface, it seems that having knowledge is a good thing. I am a firm believer of acquiring knowledge, regardless of what field it may be. You never know when you might need a skill or understanding of a particular concept, and it is often that you can apply that knowledge in a drastically different context. An understanding of one subject will complement another to some degree, regardless of how related they are. For instance, Einstein loved the elegance and beauty that he found in music, where because of music he sought to achieve this same beauty in the formulation of his theories.
