Knowing bits and pieces of various subjects -- or -- knowing everything of one subject?

[cruciverbalist]

Does knowing everything of one subject preclude knowing anything about other subjects? If so, then I choose the former. Also, since knowing everything about any subject is too ambitious an undertaking, I suppose I'll take knowing (a bit more than) just 'bits and pieces' of various subjects.
