Computer Science:
Or: The new version is reimplemented and incompatible, so everything you learnt about it from the previous versions is wrong.
Oh, you use the MediaWiki engine, too? The documentation is always a few versions behind, and between there and now they broke the interface three times...
One of the best programmers I've ever met told me, "All you need is Knuth everything else is just syntax." And I don't know if that's 100% true, but can say I learned more from reading The Art of Computer Programming than I have in basically any other textbook/textbook series I've read on the subject.
Or: "The algorithm and data structure theory stuff is still pretty relevant. However, all of the examples are written in a language no one really uses any more. If they can get away with it."
For me its like "oh great a old textbook, now i can finally understand our legacy codebase".
