Hi,
Well, this study agrees with you.
Actually, that study goes well beyond what I said. I simply maintained that if one was ignorant of a subject, one cannot determine true and false in that subject. The article implies that not only can the ignorant not make good choices, but they don't even know they cannot make good choices. They are, so to speak, ignorant of their ignorance. The fundamental proposition of the article, by the way, is probably recursive. :)
