Degrees of Ignorance

Starting with any article on Wikipedia, the number of clicks that are required for you to find a sentence that you recognize/understand is your degree of ignorance.
I looked up trace theory the other day, but in order to understand that, I had to click through to free monoid, and from their to the entry on monoid, and from there to algebraic structure, which understand. So, I don't understand trace theory by 3 degrees of ignorance.

ignorance is NOT bliss

Lacking knowledge/being rude doesn't make you happy, #1: Lacking knowledge will make you look stupid (depends on the IQ level). Nobody likes it when people are stupid.
#2: Being rude will make everyone hate you. Nobody like it when people are rude.

Future: Then you will be sad for the rest of your life.
idiot: ignorance is bliss.

Reverse Ignorance

Term for when a person likes an imported Japanese movie just because its Japanese. He believes that by liking this film, people will think he is "deep" and "artistic." Once someone points out that the movie sucked, He says it's because ignorant Americans only like movies that have action, car crashes, and special effects, while himself being ignorant to the fact that no matter what, the movie had no plot and made absolutely no sense whatsoever. He fails to realize that although the Japanese director tried his hardest, he will never produce anything close to a movie. These people often mistake the properties of a movie with those of an art project. Most Japanese films would be beautiful art projects, but suck as movies because they lack a plot.
He thought he would sound deep and intelligent when he criticized Devin for not liking Aniko Hosogawa's "Dreams," But as Devin pointed out, he was just another victim of reverse ignorance. He killed himself shortly after because he couldn't stand the intense might of Devin's Pure Skill.
