If you stop and think about it: You have to know an awful lot about a subject in order to ask an intelligent question.
If you know that much about the subject, you can probably figure out the answer to your own question.
However, it is much more efficient to ask someone who has already acquired that specific piece of information---That's not stupid. That is efficient.
If everyone stopped asking questions, they would spend all of their time looking up or figuring out the information they need. The world would come to a standstill. So please ask your questions, I don't want the world to stop.
Enjoy,
