This is perhaps a tangential issue, but I don't think the author addressed the question she posed. I was looking forward to seeing the author thoroughly dissect the ignorance inherent in the title, so I followed along with the methaphor as it lengthened. I also didn't object to the metaphor presuming the conclusions she set out to make, since metaphors are expository instruments intended to clarify and shed light on a complex underlying issue. But when I skimmed to the end and saw that she never moved on from the metaphor to an actual argument, I lost interest. A metaphor is not an argument. It can be a great way to introduce or conclude one, but it should never be the main course at an idea buffet.
