To a certain degree, this isn't a bad strategy Mr. Hagerman is employing.
Ignorance can be bliss is some instances.
Can't ignore a reference to this saying that I read recently. I'm reading a book about the Garfield assassination. The head doctor of the team that cared for Garfield was a man with the name of Willard Bliss. After Garfield's death, about two months after he was shot, it was clear to many medical folks, including a number younger doctors who had been taught antisepsis, that Garfield had died as the result of medical malpractice. Bliss had induced infection in the wound by too much probing for the bullet with unclean hands. The autopsy after Garfield's death showed conclusively that his body had walled off the bullet and that if the doctors had done nothing other than treat the wound opening that Garfield would have survived. One young doctor was widely quoted as saying in reference to Dr. Bliss, "Ignorance is Bliss." And, this was supposedly the origination of the expression, which has now morphed into being used the way OUcats82 is using it.
