 Ignorance is a state of being uninformed (lack of knowledge).[1] The word ignorant is an adjective describing a person in the state of being unaware and is often used as an insult to describe individuals who deliberately ignore or disregard important information or facts. Ignoramus is commonly used in the US, the UK, and Ireland as a term for someone who is willfully ignorant.
Ignorance is distinguished from stupidity, although both can lead to "unwise" acts.
Writer Thomas Pynchon articulated about the scope and structure of one's ignorance: "Ignorance is not just a blank space on a person's mental map. It has contours and coherence, and for all I know rules of operation as well. So as a corollary to [the advice of] writing about what we know, maybe we should add getting familiar with our ignorance, and the possibilities therein for writing a good story."[2]
The legal principle that ignorantia juris non excusat, literally "ignorance of the law is no excuse", stands for the proposition that the law applies also to those who are unaware of it.
Individuals with superficial knowledge of a topic or subject may be worse off than people who know absolutely nothing. As Charles Darwin observed, "ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge."[3]
Ignorance can stifle learning, especially if the ignorant person believes that they are not ignorant. A person who falsely believes he or she is knowledgeable will not seek out clarification of his or her beliefs, but rather rely on his or her ignorant position. He or she may also reject valid but contrary information, neither realizing its importance nor understanding it. This concept is elucidated in Justin Kruger's and David Dunning's work, "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments," otherwise known as the Dunning–Kruger effect.
The panel consists of four participants: three rotating and one regular, Alan Davies, who has the seat to Stephen Fry's immediate right. The show's other panellists mainly come from a stand-up comedy or comedy background, although there have also been guests from other fields, including actors, television presenters, poets and scientists.[7][8][9] Davies has appeared in every episode, except for one that was themed on "Divination": he was present at the beginning, but he "teleported" away during the buzzer demonstration; his buzzer that episode was the sound of the TARDIS from Doctor Who. He was at a football match instead but was still able to play as communicated "from beyond."[10] While Alan has the most wins on the show, having come out on top 17 times (including two tied victories), he generally offers up most of the "obvious but wrong" answers and has by far the worst record among panellists. Davies has finished in last place 63 times and also holds the record for the lowest score on the show: −144, achieved after losing 150 points for guessing that Gandhi's first name was Randy in the "Differences" episode.
Questions are sometimes misleading or very difficult. Providing an "obvious but wrong" answer results in a sequence of sirens and flashing lights, and a theatrical cry of despair from Stephen Fry. In the first and second series, Fry produced the given answer on a card to show the panellists, while it also flashed on the large screens behind them (except in the pilot episode and the first show of the first series, when only the cards were used).[11] In the third series and onward, Fry's answer cards were dispensed with altogether, leaving only the screens as proof that such answers had been predicted.
Because of the show's expectation that hardly anyone would be able to give a correct answer without significant prompting, it instead encourages sheer interestingness, which is how points are mainly scored.[12] As such, tangential discussions are encouraged, and panellists are apt to branch off into frivolous conversations, give voice to trains of thought, and share humorous anecdotes from their own lives.[12] The number of points given and taken away are normally decided by Fry or beforehand by QI researchers known as "The QI Elves", especially if the points given or taken are very large. For example, one episode asked, "What is the main ingredient of air?" The correct answer is "nitrogen". The incorrect answer "carbon dioxide", which none of the panellists offered, would have resulted in a deduction of 3,000 points (CO2 is a trace gas being only 0.038% of the atmosphere). However, Davies was deducted 10 points for suggesting "oxygen".[13] In one episode, Fry described the points as being "taken away for answers that are both obvious and wrong, and they're given not so much for being correct, as for being interesting."[14]
Negative scores are common, and occasionally even the victor's score may be negative. Score totals are announced only at the conclusion of the show, with the exception of Episode 8 of Series I, titled "Inequality and Injustice," where points were "unfairly" given out before the quiz began.[15]
Stephen Fry said "I think we all agree that nobody in this universe understands QI's scoring system."[16] John Lloyd, QI's creator, has, on one occasion, admitted that not even he has any idea how the scoring system works, but there is someone who is paid to check on the scores. In a 2011 documentary on the series, Will Bowen, who is known as a "Mathematics Elf" on the show, suggested that the scoring system is in fact a proprietary algorithm, and that he couldn't discuss it in detail.[17] Guests are allowed the right of appeal if they believe their score is wrong, but none has so far exercised that right.[12]
Each panellist has a buzzer, with the sounds of all four often being based on a theme. They are demonstrated at the beginning of the programme, but are sometimes changed in some way for repeated use. Davies' buzzer usually subverts the theme established by the preceding three. Comical twists include in the ninth episode of series B (Bats), when all the first 3 buzzers were bells, then Alan's buzzer turned out to be a male voice (Leslie Phillips) saying "Well hello! Ding dong!" It was revealed last in every episode except for the unbroadcast pilot, in which he went first and Eddie Izzard was fourth.[18] In episode 5 of Series A, rather than a comical buzzer, Davies set off the forfeit alarm, (suggesting he sets one every time he offers an answer) meaning he started the show on -10 points before a question was asked (it was later changed to the sound of a duck quacking). This was done again in episode 1 of Series H, and once again in episode 3 of Series I. Davies' buzzer in the "Endings" episode was the longest buzzer used in the programme.
Apart from the pilot, where the panellists used various objects to draw attention to themselves, two episodes have not used a buzzer system: the series D episode "Denial & Deprivation," where as part of the theme the entire usual set had been dispensed with and the panellists instead used assorted objects, and the series G episode "Green," where the buzzers were switched off to "reduce the show's carbon footprint" and replaced with a set of whistles.
Sometimes questions are based on the buzzers themselves, usually Davies'. For example, one of his buzzer noises the Series D episode "Descendants" sounded like a Clanger, and the panel had to try and guess what was being said (the answer being "Oh sod it, the bloody thing's stuck again.") In the Series F episode "Fakes and Frauds," all the buzzers sounded like ordinary household objects, but then turned out to be the sound of the superb lyrebird mimicking the noises. Davies's however, was again an exception; his buzzer, which sounded like a telephone, really was a telephone and not a lyrebird mimicking one.
