"Can't See the Forest for the Trees"
People don't really use this much any more. Don't get me wrong, I get what it means, generally (something to the extent of 'missing the point'), but it doesn't make sense. I really hate it. Where did it come from? Why? Why did, at some point, people use it like crazy?

More specifically, it means that you can't see the big picture (the forest) because you're getting lost in all the details (the individual trees) of the situation.
