You never must meddle. Perhaps:
It is dangerous to meddle with things I do not understand.
If I wish to meddle, I must first understand.
How do you separate stuff by one line like that?
Edit: lines correctly separated.
Put two spaces after your line.
Like this.
I just learned this, like, 2 days ago, and it has changed my world.
I'm going to use this, so now we need to name it.
Obvious option is "Litany of Daniel".
Second option is "Litany of Velma."
(This is going to be in a not so serious section of the evening, and if we use "Litany of Velma" then we can follow it up with the Litany of Joseph: 'Knowing is Half the Battle')
Who is Velma?
Scooby-Doo character? She was the most rational of the group.
Editted to add this
And since it's probably still unclear, Scooby Doo is relevant because of the oft-mentioned phrase "You meddling kids!"
It's actually NOT the best example of the word "meddling" in this context. "Do not meddle" usually refers to powerful forces that will destroy you if you mess up, whereas Scooby and Co. are just meddling with con-artists, and they usually LEARN stuff by meddling in the first place. But I couldn't think of a better reference offhand. Did a search for "Meddle with forces" and similar things and couldn't find a source that seemed suitably ancient that it would been the original line or anything.
