Yes, if people cannot fully comprehend a belief then it can tear them apart. Averroes had a similar belief that if people were not ready to understand certain information then that information would do more harm than good.
They would receive the new information and cast out their old beliefs. However, since they could not understand the new information they would soon get rid of it due to frustration. Now they would be left without belief. Therefore, it is better for them to believe in something that they understand than in nothing at all. Even if it is wrong. - According to Averroes.
