Knowing ISHMAEL's penchant for putting the worst possible spin on anything I write (Wot? Me paranoid? [g]), I have 'ummed and ahhed' for a while before posting this:

We each have subjects in which our ignorance is so profound that we do not realise that we are ignorant (or just how ignorant we are). There is no shame in ignorance <i>per se</i>; we possibly all have more areas of ignorance than we do of functional knowledge (I certainly do!).

However, the same cannot be said for <i>willful</i> ignorance; the cynic in me wonders if the "I understand it perfectly and it's wrong" stance of so many OCT apologists is actually an attempt to immunise themselves against Krupp's criticism by (subconsciously?) refusing to try to fully understand the logic of it.
