This Chinese saying cautions against making decisons and judgements based on minimal information. It is a natural tendency to make cursory analysis based on first impressions, particularly in the area of human relationships. There is usually much typecasting and stereotyping that such and such a personality can't be trusted, or that someone looks so dependable.
Looks can be utterly deceiving!
There is much wisdom in this sage advice. I for one have been proven wrong many a time when I relied on a first glance, superficial assessment of a particular person or a business situation.
Truly, one can't measure the volume of the sea using buckets for that matter, let alone a scoop. Hence, avoid making superficial or cursory assessments on anyone or any given situation. Much more needs to be uncovered before making a judgement or decision.
