Interesting article. I agree that phrase is sometimes used almost as 'I want to willingly remain close minded/ignorant' or if they can't back up their opinion. In a materialistic culture it seems vital to have an opinion on everything and if you don't you're deemed out of the loop. As a result, views are often made on glimpses of the full picture or second hand information and to challenge them is sometimes treated as a personal attack. As if you're questioning their validity or importance as part of society.
