Come back to academia, I keep along stupid questions all the time. Granted, my defence is I'm no longer paid to do science so don't mind looking stupid in that regard infront of the boss. I just build things for them to use. It's remarkable how many of the "stupid questions" ends up sounding like the synonymous "reviewer 1". And how many end up catching out high level problems which are lost in the detail in something new and exiting. Such as "OK we build and install it there and calibrate it, but what about networking and power in year 2 after the upgrade?"...
