Steeped in ignorance
Can you please explain what is -steeped in ignorance?
They say: A UFO! The U stands for unidentified. So they say I don't know what it is. It must be aliens from out of space visiting from another planet. Well, if you don't know what it is that's where your conversation should stop! You know, they say it must be anything. ok? That's what argument from ignorance is. It's common, I'm not blaming anybody. Psychologists know all about it and it may relate to our burning need to have to know stuff, because we are uncomfortable steeped in ignorance. You can't be a scientist if you are uncomfortable with ignorance
