It's called the "law of incompetence" - incompetent people are incompetent to see that they are incompetent because they are incompetent. If they were competent enough to perceive that they were incompetent, then they would be able to change and be competent (or at least know enough to know that they didn't know enough to know, know what I mean?).
I read a paper on that once (Unskilled and Unaware of it).
Something that has always puzzled me is the perception many creationists seem to have, and not only creationists, that education is a bad thing and that it somehow 'closes' off the mind?
