disagree, and the courts will likely take this position as well. ignorance has never been a defensible strategy to avoid liability.

pick up a detonator, it's up to you to understand where the bombs are positions what's in the blast range.

I didn't say "liable" I said "negligent".

Anyway that's clearly not true in the general case. For example, if you didn't realize that the button was a detonator to begin with.

your "negligence" on understanding the ramifications of pushing the "button" resulted in your "liability".

Reframed so maybe you'd better understand the relationship between these concepts. This isn't cutting edge precedent!
