This is one of the first things I tell our new hires - please call us on doing something stupid or being closed-minded. Just like a child, ask "why" all the time. We may have the right solution in place to cover bizarre edge cases that they don't know about yet, but it's just as possible that their fresh perspective is a far better way to approach the problem.
I'll get annoyed if people are challenging stuff just for the sake of it, but any time there's a genuine improvement being proposed it's a welcome discussion.
