"Ignorance priors" are not the common use case for Bayesian in general, at least in my experience.

Furthermore, who said adding more data is not allowed? Of course it is, and I agree fully, but do struggle to see how that contradicts what was said.

Think about a Bayesian spam filter, you keep training it with more "priors", over time and it gets better.
