The best thing Brutus could do is get the conversation back to the issue at hand. Say something like… “That’s not the point. The point we were discussing is whether or not your hairdo makes you look like a witch. Let’s just agree to disagree Broom Hilda.”
Or, in her case, from her perspective, knowing a thing, but not knowing how to teach it. We have too many knowledgeable folks on these comment sections that don’t know how to convey their facts without making the other less knowledgeable person dig in their heels in their ignorance. Good communication is rare these days.
Can’t believe I am agreeing with Mother Gargoyle! As a senior lawyer I get frustrated when my young mentees don’t believe there are things they don’t know that they don’t know!

Mother Gargle—go get your hair weed-eaten. In case taking the sharp points off makes you nicer.

As I get older I find many things I didn’t know that I didn’t know. I expect there is much more than I can imagine that I don’t know.

Wisdom is being aware there is much more than you have knowledge of, but are willing to pursue leaning more to lessen ones’ ignorance.

Those people who think that they know it all are annoying to those of us who actually do.

But for whom? Also, ignorance can be bliss. However, between the Wicked Witch of the West and Brutus, my money is on Brutus…..

In this case she’s right. Not knowing one is ignorant (and everyone is in many regards) leads to one being arrogant and wrong at the same time.

Brutus just tell her that she’s spot on and that you are glad she has finally recognized her problem.
