One of the biggest fallacies seems to be the belief that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Oh how I beg to differ…. In the past I have reasoned with my inner voice mumbling dissent by saying the only stupid question is “Am I my brother’s keeper?” …But really there are not only stupid questions but a lot of them! Please note this is not to be lumped in with the assumption that there are only blithely unaware / unintelligent askers or the lazy love to not know kind of question in efforts to support maintained ignorance…. No, this is in its own perplexing class of questioning that continues to infuriate and boggle.
Perhaps in the future I should simply answer with the traditional “Bless your heart” and move on ….
