So because you can't bother to back you're claims you want to just call me a liar? 😂
"His knowledge remained woefully incomplete, Harry! That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend. Of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty and innocence, Voldemort knows and understands nothing. Nothing. That they all have a power beyond his own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth that he has never grasped
So here you have Dumbledore saying Voldemort doesn't understand anything. So which is true Quan, or are you just reading what you want without seeing the context.
"My dear Professor, surely a sensible person like yourself can call him by his name? All this 'You-Know-Who' nonsense - for eleven years I have been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name: Voldemort." Professor McGonagall flinched, but Dumbledore, who was unsticking two lemon drops, seemed not to notice. "It all gets so confusing if we keep saying 'You-Know-Who.' I have never seen any reason to be frightened of saying Voldemort's name."
"I know you haven't," said Professor McGonagall, sounding half exasperated, half admiring. "But you're different. Everyone knows you're the only one You-Know- oh, all right, Voldemort, was frightened of."
"You flatter me," said Dumbledore calmly. "Voldemort had powers I will never have."
"Only because you're too - well - noble to use them."
Here Dumbledore says Voldemort had power I will never have, not necessarily powers he doesn't understand, meaning he does know how to combat these threats and this is displayed by his fight with the inferi.
"By the end of his first year, he would never again be known as the son of a Muggle-hater, but as nothing more or less than the most brilliant student ever seen at the school."
—Elphias Doge on Dumbledore's school years
We see in his battle with Voldemort in OOTP, in the books Dumbledore displays greater variety of magic than Voldemort, with controlling stone statues, a fire serpent, and water bubble that's Voldemort only escaped by disapparating.
As for the elder wand, Dumbledore defeated Grindlewald, while the latter possessed the elder wand. If Voldemort was more powerful wouldn't he have won? Dumbledore won his, why couldn't Voldemorts if he was more powerful 😂
During his N.E.W.T.S., Dumbledore's inspector who was Bathilda Bagshot who was the most celebrated magical historian of the last century said Dumbledore did things in Charms and Transfiguration that she had never seen before.
So yea, Dumbledore does have more magical knowledge than Voldemort.
