Oh, sure it is. Ignorance of the law or other things is not an acceptable
answer in a court of law. Smith vs. something or another is the case in
question. Although, don't hold me to the Smith part but it is case law.
The litmus test is "would a reasonably intelligent person have known this or
taken steps to know this."

No. Ignorance is not prosecuted in this country. If it were, we would
have to put some very high-ranking people in jail.
