Knowledge is power, or so the well quoted slogan states. I think not. The potential for power is there, but knowledge alone is not power.

Knowledge must be applied to unlease the inherent potential.  Knowledge is content, information, the "how to" of life. My head can be filled to overflowing with knowledge, but if I do nothing all the day long, what power is there in that?  I must act on what I know.

My intention and how I use the knowledge determines the quality of the outcome. Maybe it's semantics.  With a slight adjustment in the saying, I would find it more palatable. For instance "Experiential Knowledge is power."  I think that is closer to the truth.  At least that implies that the knowledge must be applied.  Try it out.  See if it works.  Otherwise, it's just a bunch of "files" & "boxes" of stuff cluttering up the mind. Hey, I'm entitled to my opinion.

For your consideration, I've included dictionary definitions of knowledge and power.

Knowledge: Facts, information and skills acquired by a person through experience or education.

Power: The ability to do something or act in a particular way, as a faculty or quality, or to direct or influence the behavior of others, or the course of events.
