Well, that is certainly one way to look at it.

Another might be:

Fools simply stop asking questions, accept mysteries, have a religious
devotion to the idea, "All is already known!", shout at all who keep
looking in cupboards for clues, etc., etc. ... time has a way of working
some of this out.


I don't know anyone here that is that way. I do know people who have
the temerity to question wild claims, and not accept them as fact until
good and compelling proof is offered, or if it at least "works" to a
close approximation. It is a mark of wisdom to understand that is
prudent, not foolish.

Has a person stopped asking questions if they ask a question about some
new and unproven concept?

The idea is to answer or discuss the question, not deride the questioner.

Otherwise we sound like:

Person 1: Boy the US healthcare system has some big problems

Person 2: LIBERAL!

Person 1: It's hot out today.

Person 2: LIBERAL!
