FWIW, I never called you ignorant. I said people don't like to be ignorant, and you claimed that you were happy to be ignorant about cooking. I'd never call someone ignorant for having a belief or a lack thereof; that would be a misuse of the word. I'd use something like "misguided" or "faulty" to refer to an opinion.

As for the rest, I think it's a bit of a pot/kettle situation. smile
