      It’s not about “stupid” for me but about the amount of loadedness in a question. There are indeed no stupid questions - but there are stupid assumptions.

      Even one answer from. OP in it’s often easy to see if they want to generate knowledge of search confrontation.

        a ‘loaded’ question doesn’t have to be malicious. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

          If someone says that, I assume they intend to use malice and blame it on stupidity so they don’t look malicious.

            Well, it’s a thing called Hanlon’s Razor, so maybe look it up?

      But those aren’t stupid questions, they are questions very smartly crafted to imply a certain answer or legitimize a problem. Then they are not stupid, but smart. And often evil.

        you mean like telling people how ‘you’ disregard some questions in a sub that’s supposed to be open to any and all questions because ‘you’ feel like ‘you’re’ too important to take them seriously?
