The differentiation between that and ego masturbation seems to be when the person in question can do more and declares that this is their primary field of interest.

The problem with ignorance is that it gets continually pervasive, since there's no way to learn everything, and people seem to fall farther and farther behind all the time. And nobody likes to learn about things that they're already wrong about.
