Laurence J. PeterAgainst logic there is no armor like ignorance.
About This Quote
When we ignore facts and facts are ignored, we run the risk of making a mistake. Ignorance is as great as armor as it allows us to do as we please. The problem is that ignorance can be dangerous because it can lead us to make decisions that could turn out to be very bad. An example of this would be when people refuse to listen to information that is wrong or simply false.
For instance, in some instances, people choose not to listen to opposing views on issues. This is known as an argument against logic.
