Today
Going to the other side of the fence, knowledge is experience and experience is knowledge -- basically I don't see it that way. From what I learned, more knowledge will surely not make you more experienced. Gained knowledge not time tested is like a newly designed aircraft, theoretically sound to fly but not fully tested through to take on all challenges that time can only tell.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not old for sure. what I'm saying is I encounter more often people who thinks they are better than the rest just because they have more knowledge. I will still put my money on a well rounded experienced person...
