What you mean is an attempt of triggering a big war between Humans and Faunus, again, at the surface of things. The obvious plot is that it won't work - perhaps only a small one would occur before being quashed, people are ready for it this time, both Humans and Faunus - although what's going to happen in the future is up for the grabs.

Knowledge is knowledge. You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don't use or learn from it then it's no better than thrash. What he meant was that just knowing things, as compared to actually learning and acting upon them, are two different things. For example, it's one thing to know that the Grimm is once the nemesis of humanity, and another to feel cautious and plan around it. It's obvious that the students - with kids like Ruby who can face a Deathstalker before her, and charge blindly just because she wants to 'prove' herself worthy - lacked the sense that Grimm are dangerous, as in not-to-be-treated-as-a-joke-at-all dangerous, since their time was relatively peaceful and calm.

Just the fact that the Humans and Faunus were complacent enough to fight a war among each other showed that the Grimm was no longer viewed as a real threat, but a nuiscance instead.
