Agreed, that is an improvement. But even if the enlightened one's 
information is gained from a position of perfect knowledge and 
understanding (debatable, but let it slide), I do not actually have 
access to it. All I have is my imperfect and ignorance-ridden perception 
of what I think the enlightened one said. So the ignorance pervading my 
decision-making process may be decreased a little, but it doesn't go 
away entirely.

Isn't epistemology fun?
