"It is a mistake to think that [the mind] has elastic walls and can distend to
any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time where for every addition of
knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest
importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful
ones".
Sherlock Holmes, in "A Study in Scarlet" by A.C. Doyle...
