"Ahhh, but there is a vast difference between ignorance and stupidity."
One of my favorite quotes, but I can not find the original reference, is "Ignorance can be cured, but stupid's forever."
Whoa! There's a blast from the past. A 3+ year old thread.
I guess in the past 3 1/2 years, your axiom has been distilled down to "stuck on stupid".
