If you continue to make the same mistakes, you are starting to exhibit stupidity, and not ignorance. (btw: this is one of the reasons I despise the '...for Dummies' books.) If you learn after the first few mistakes, you are overcoming ignorance. And that is the true path to enlightenment.

The title of the main thread is "Knowledge gained through abject stupidity".

I made no mention of ignorance or overcoming Stupidity.

DeusVult said, "printed out the contents of the other freakin' hash" which is not ignorance, but stupidity, abject stupidity.
