Ahhh, yes, I do understand. The gaps in a person's knowledge that make up their ignorance get filled with "probably right" things that they hear as total guesses from other people. Eventually that "probably right" thing turns into something people "believe in", like geocentrism for example, and then when contradicting facts come out, people can have a hard time accepting their true reality. The fight against ignorance is the good fight! I'm glad you're a part of it.

yes yes yes, exactly!!
this is definitely my biggest beef with anyone - their unwillingness to learn and erase their ignorance by interacting with others!
