In order to deny ignorance, one must first be willing to call their own assumptions of what is correct into question.
Just because one may feel they know the answer to something, does not necessarily mean it is correct. There are also different levels to the answers to any particular question. one must be able to look past, examine, and make the determinations for ones own self to what is correct or not. Even then, that answer is subject to interpretation.
To deny ignorance, one may struggle their entire life, beyond any doubt in their own mind, that an answer is correct, only to be dis proven later by someone else. To deny ignorance is a constant struggle, that in reality has no chance of ever being fulfilled in anyone's own lifetime.
One must eventually settle upon an answer, accept it as fact, and move on, or be condemned to search for the answers for their whole life. Every question that finds an answer, only expounds on the question itself, raising new questions. Denying ignorance is all but impossible for us, for if we settle on any answer, we are being ignorant of any other possibilities.

That is what Denying Ignorance SHOULD be. But somehow it has become the be all end all to many threads to shout those two words at everyone, and think that you're right.
As to what I said about a belief, it's entirely possible that we can both look at the same evidence and draw two different conclusions to the same thing. I believe that I'm right, and you believe that you're right. That doesn't make either of us actually ignorant. It simply means that we're looking at things based on what we know and drawing different conclusions.

Exactly. Nicely put.
To understand completely, one must understand the extremes that something can go to. Then after all is said and done, a choice must be made whether or not to settle on that answer or continue looking. Even after you settle on an answer, someone may just upset your entire understanding by bringing a viewpoint you may not have considered.
