What is the dumb question?
Dumb questions are simple questions that probe the obvious, and simultaneously challenge and direct our thinking. Dumb questions are not accusatory or argumentative statements in disguise. Nor are they formulated with preconceived answers in mind. Rather, they are probing yet open.
Who said the only dumb question is the one not asked?
Wikipedia has a page "No such thing as a stupid question", Goodreads attributes "The only stupid question is the question that is never asked" to Ramon Bautista, and a Quora user attributes there is no such thing as a stupid question" to Albert Einstein, but none of them has any good citation for an original source.
Is it OK to ask dumb questions?
Thankfully, asking “stupid” questions won't cause the demise of your career. In fact, when you phrase them the right way, you'll demonstrate that you're competent and—more importantly—not afraid to ask for whatever you need to get the job done.
How do you ask an interrogative question without sounding?
Some people know how to carry on a conversation and some people dont. For example, if you ask someone what their major is and they simply reply "teaching", then you follow up and ask what they want to teach and all they say is "math"... Either they dont want to talk to you, or talking to them isnt worth your time.
Is there such a thing as a bad question?
Teachers are fond of saying, “There is no such thing as a bad question.” Sadly, they're wrong. Teachers, in fact, often provide the class with an excellent example of a bad question. At the end of a long lecture as the bell rings they ask, “Any questions?” On a good day no one responds.
