Ignorance is Bliss

-- by Horatio Algeranon

My ignorance is ascendant
My analysis, independent
Of reality itself,
Which really is a help.



The above was inspired by an actual comment (believe it or not) by one Matt Asher, "bolstering" his claim of "The surprisingly weak case for global warming": 
“The advantage of my ignorance of the science is that I can offer an independent analysis of the data." 
(Reality-) Independent indeed.
