Is trigonometry a cartoon?
Or is the Earth "variable?"
trigonometry based on more unproven claims

How does willful ignorance (confirmation bias) factor in?
Good question. Willful ignorance allows one to maintain their world view and the perceptions that form it. It provides a false sense of security with a lazy intellectual argument. For the individual that willfully applies ignorance in discourse, they fail to grow in understanding of the issues while promoting an agenda consistent with their perceptions. By purposefully ignoring an uncomfortable fact that challenges ones beliefs, it demonstrates an immature world view and a resistance to further enhancing these perceptions. A closed mind.
How this factors in with trying to resolve 9/11 is an endless loop that won't. Without being able to alter ones perceptions to fit in with the facts, there is no way out. Perhaps the willful ignorance wants this as a goal? If they are a part of the deception behind these events or at least supporting those that are, then no resolution protects the real perpetrators. Justice delayed is justice denied. With this type of motivation for ignorance, the individual already knowns who done it, they just want to stop anyone else from learning it through consistent side tracks and diversions. A cloak of deception.
When first being introduced to the 9/11 topic it is a confusing mess. Lots of things don't add up and lots of conflicting stories. After years of sifting through the details, the picture that emerges is very troubling. I have seen willful ignorance in others when going through some of the evidence. It is easier to think WTC7 did kill its self than to question the trust we have in our government and media.
