That wasn't a word of support, Peter. That was two
people both making fun of you by employing sarcasm,
just doing it in different ways.

You have insistently made yourself an object of
ridicule, and people, not to disappoint you, or make
all your efforts futile, are ridiculing you, with
many tools, including sarcasm.

Invincable ignorance, unfortunately, is as immune to
sarcasm as to any other attempts to slip new
information past its defenses. That's why it is
called "invincible", and has been since it was
characterized by Saint Augustine around 412 AD and
reaffirmed by Saint Thomas Aquinus in his _Summa
Theologica_ around 1260 or so.

"Invincible ignorance excuses from sin, we admit, in
that whereof one is invincibly ignorant, but it
confers no virtue, and is purely negative."
