"You can usually recognize the people who have imagination and knowledge, compared to those who ask questions only because they do not understand."
I think both of those are a good thing. Problem is, when something is new (and unfamiliar) most people don't even bother to ask and learn about it.
You are correct. I didn't mean it's a bad thing to ask if you don't knoe, but there are questions which take you forward and questions which bring the entire idea forward.
Luckily sometimes you can help innovations to advance even when you are the one not understanding the subject! Rare though, but possible.
I did get why you said it, but before one can apply their knowledge and imagination, one has to learn about it, and therefore ask the "newbie" questions first ;)
Sorry, your comment is good but it just made me remember this :)
Experiments on bears flying jetpacks, that sounds pretty awesome xD
