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?
