Why are "conscious of" and "unconscious of" better than "knowing about" and "ignorant of"? Because to me, bringing consciousness into this is just causing confusion. There are certainly parallels and connections between consciousness on one hand and education/intelligence on the other, but they are NOT the same thing!
