your definition of argument from ignorance is incorrect. The fallacy is that "because we don't know that x is the case, therefore x is not the case" which is not at all what I've ever claimed!
It works both ways. "I don't know [x], therefore [x or not-x]" is the error. "Don't know" is not related to either, doesn't qualify as evidence, and is just silly.
What is the error called when you claim "I don't have any reason at all for my claim, but I prefer that it were true" called?
I only ask for educational purposes.
