power/knowledge

Hi, I've been reading Foucault for less than a year now. A lot of his work
seems quite subversive of accepted notions of society. However, his basic
premise seems quite basic to me. The common expression "knowledge is power"
seems to summarize his position.There doesn't seem to be anything
revolutionary about that.
Is the interpretation that "knowledge is power" an oversimplification of his
work?
