The use of the Ignoring function unconsciously probably serves to look for holes or inconsistencies with the views of the Lead function, almost as if you are trying to prepare for attack from that counter-perspective to possible weakness in your own viewpoints with your Lead function. Thus, the Ignoring function's unconscious use might act as a sort of training mechanism to make the Lead perspective better able to convince others of its superiority over the Ignoring function. I imagine it operating much like how a vaccine releases damaged pathogens into your body for your immune system to fend off and to start producing antibodies to protect it from a real infection.

    I'm not too sure, however, so this is mere speculation.

    Makes sense. Probably the ignoring function is taken for granted as being subordinate to the Lead function, and in situations where ignoring material is likely to overtake the Lead because of its "potency", one immediately counters it before it draws attention further away from the Lead.

    And I've noticed people become insatiable for ignoring information when their base is lacking information, so in that sense it probably does orient a person in the world, unconsciously pulling them to those areas where the Lead function gains the most (positive) information.
