No, Q, dumb poeple do not ask questions. They simply do not realize that they don't know enough to charge blindly ahead.

Inexperience can be corrected with time and intelligent questioning. Dumb is forever.

Sometimes we get some posters here who confuse the two concepts. If you have been put in a situation where you have to make decisions beyond your current ability level, it's far better to ask questions as best you can in this forum than to put yourself, your company, and innocent people in trouble of various types.

If you are being asked to provide knowledge you don't have, it's far more likely to be a result of your company's management's lack of understanding than it is of your own.

You may have to put up with some unnecessary grief here, but better that than to have to go through the grief that comes with being involved as a major in an engineering disaster.
