2. No
What you don't know can hurt you.

5. Oh, I don't know...

3. Sometimes yes, sometimes no...
Often in the positive I like to think of it as "plausible deniability"

10. Had a supervisor who preached that.
She got her position from a drinking crony. Others in management through relatives. We lowlie proles without the money, perks and benefits pulled their slack, while they chatted, planning drinking sessions and vacations together.

11. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?
