I enjoyed this read. I do want to point out that the first example of a similar posts is a terrible one (willingness to look stupid by Dan Luu) and not in the spirit of the story being told. In that post, it's not actually any kind of willingness but more of a "you are all stupid and I cannot lower myself to explain so I will tolerate looking dumb", there's a pervasive arrogance being portrayed or justified as something else.

Additionally, I've seen advice suggesting that it's okay to appear unintelligent sometimes as if it was a necessary evil, but my point is that it's not always a negative thing.
