IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

Also, regarding the second link... no shit, Sherlock?Working as a trainer, I've always said the worst people are the ones who don't know how stupid/crap/unskilled/whatever they are; the ones who come in and say "Ooh, I know nothing about computers" are generally a joy to teach; the ones who think they know everything are 100% pain in the arse...
EDIT: that comes across like I'm having a go at you, RWH... not at all, more at the scientists that took a decade to discover what most of us in the real world already know :)

Well a theory is fine and a stereotype is something known by everyonethese people apparently spent time compiling evidence and documenting it and incidentally got paid for the last 10 years for documenting and compiling what we mostly already know :-)
