John,
"there's little stranger than the unshakeability of the insufferably ignorant" - this expression is brilliant! Can I quote you on it? Although I still wonder why it should be so. And often just mere ignorance is unshakeable.
Regards,
Vera

Try the concept of cognitive dissonance: People believe what they believe despite contrary facts
presented. It is one of the causes of unshakable ignorance!

Mark Twain put it quite succinctly (I quote from memory).
"It ain't the things we don't know thet bedevil us;
It's the things we think we know that ain't"
