That part isn't the advice. Are you encouraging people to not admit their mistakes?

  I think you missed an opportunity there. The advice should be 'don't do this, it's better to admit to being a noob and asking for explanation rather than to hold a conversation using words you don't know the meaning of lest you pass up an opportunity to learn something.'. There is no such thing as a stupid question. This reminds me of a conversation I overheard long ago in public transport where two kids were arguing (loudly) about what was the faster computer, Okidata or Brother.

    At this point I would typically google, but let me ask: I have never heard of Okidata or Brother. Could you explain how this thread reminded you of this conversation and could you describe Okidata and Brother, please?

      Okidata and Brother are two brands of printers, not computers. The point of his story is that the kids were talking about stuff they didn't have a clue about, which would sound stupid to anyone who did know about it. Someone would look equally stupid throwing around business terms whose meanings they were ignorant of.
