         DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to close the eyes) to be unwilling to learn and to evaluate something fairly

         Glosses: ['to refuse to learn', 'to refuse to recognize']

         Comments: In a number of languages there is a problem involved in a literal rendering of ‘to close the eyes,’ since this may be understood in a strictly literal sense or as denoting death.
