I am not aware of any meaning of the word "insane" which indicates that one is largely ignorant of an issue. It's my contention that the word is very rarely (if ever) used to mean that. Furthermore, that would not at all fit within the context of his post, which was quoting me. My usage of "knob" fits in the context with which I have said it was used, mostly because <b>that is exactly what I meant by it</b>. I have heard <b>many</b> people use it to describe someone as an ignoramus - possibly a shortening of "dumb as a doorknob" - and it is used very commonly in this area (or at least with the people I work with, many of whom are from a military background) to mean "that guy doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about."
I feel that this explains it enough. You guys believe what you want; I will believe what I know.
