Polignorant correctness scenarios:
Stating at a dinner party, "Global warming is a myth!" without checking the science behind the claims of the scientists. The speaker gives the impression that they have a wealth of knowledge on the subject.

Commentator on a news channel saying, "Islam is a peaceful religion" without researching the scriptural basis for the Islamic terrorist actions that just occurred. The commentator gets to appear understanding and humane without any research required.

Professing "All cultures and societies are equal in merit and achievment" as if one had extensively studied and found that to be the case. The speaker looks understanding and vastly educated.
