No offence was ever taken. Ignorance only becomes offensive when the
person either refuses to learn or when they somehow wave their
ignorance as a badge of pride. Being wrong is not a problem as long as
you are able to recognise it and admit your mistake - this is how we
learn. There is also know link between ignorance and intelligence.
