Do you agree that "there are no stupid questions"?

Question

I feel like people saying that have never been on this site... 😮‍💨

Certainly there are it's just people don't always see them as other people do. I was a fireman (now retired) and working at a fire that took place at a retail store. We were doing mop-up when I was approached in the parking lot rolling hose when a person asked me if the store was open. the front of the store had been thoroughly burn and portions of the building missing, multiple fire truck in the lot with dozens of firehoses littering the ground, a few still pouring water in the store. You tell me.

"I was in the library. A guy walked in, looked at me, turned around and left. What does it mean?" That's a real question I saw on this site and it is incredibly stupid!

I disagree. I think that the context for that saying is in a classroom, between a teacher and students, to create an environment where it's safe to speak up and ask questions without judgment.

But to say there are no stupid questions, ever... There most definitely are. That saying can be used as a thought-terminating cliche to avoid social accountability for trolling.

There sure are questions that seem to lack depth of thought. Not stupid, but ignorant. Means the person has no background in whatever they're asking, so the question sounds less than wise...

HawkPerception · Answer

There are definitely stupid questions that show people's lack of IQ.

And I agree you can find many of them here. But not just here. Everywhere. Sadly, the percentage of people asking stupid questions on apps like these is usually a pretty good indicator for how many stupid people there are in the world.

Acknowledge is knowledge and sometimes you might hear the same question 20 times but the one time is worded a little bit different than more people would understand it so I agree with you

I think “stupid question” is subjective.
Like I might see a question and think it’s stupid so it’s stupid to me but I do understand that’s just my opinion and the one who asked the question may not think they are being stupid.

When I first joined this site, about 20% of the questions were stupid. Now it is more like 80%.
