Isaiah Berlin penned an essay in 1953, I believe, called "The Hedgehog and the Fox". Though it is ultimately an analysis of Leo Tolstoy, it does identify the differences between specified knowledge and general knowledge. The "wide" vs "deep" idea. Might be of interest to check out sometime.

Also, "progress unshared is in fact no progress at all" is a great line. Thanks for sharing.
