Why do people ask stupid questions?

Stupid questions are better than none. You don't have to respond.

Knowing the answer doesn't really make the question stupid. Some people ask questions because they want to see how others would react to it or to gain a different perspective. It's not the asker who gives value to the question, it's the perception of the receiver.

They're stupid now like you were stupid back then. Not that you're stupid.

Quora is one of the brilliant sites to share intellect and grasp divergent opinions.

Better than the ones who spit their dummies out when you answer their dull questions.
