The old cliche is true, there are no stupid questions. The purpose of a question is to learn. We as humans, should always be on a quest for knowledge. If someone is curious enough about something that they ask a question, and you are in a position to answer this question, you always should. You may learn something from them as well. There are no stupid people, only uninformed. Unless there is some medical or genetic problem, we all have the same capacity to learn.

Are there stupid questions? Some people claim there aren't any. But consider this:
1) Are there stupid people? I think so. In fact, plenty of them frequent this site.
2) Do stupid people do stupid things? Absolutely.
3) When stupid people ask questions, are they exercising their stupidity? Sometimes.
Therefore, there *is* such a thing as a stupid question.
However, having said that, many of the questions that people label as stupid are not. Frequently, the person labeling the question as stupid is actually the stupid one.
Many of the questions labeled as stupid are actually challenges to common assumptions. In fact, many of the questions labeled as offensive are also challenges to common assumptions.
However, in general, a stupid question is generally one where the asker could easily answer it themselves, had they expended the effort.

Nothing is ever stupid. In fact, 'stupid' things leads us to new discovery. So, no question is ever too stupid.
