Let's not be hypocrite, people. When a child asks you questions (even silly ones), you will be annoyed, agigated, etc. The same exact thing happens to adults.
Simple. It's human nature. Don't expect people to adjust for you, so do not sound and appear stupid via your line of questioning.
You have to pick the right words for you not to be mocked, ridiculed, etc.
Some questions can be answered by researching.
My hypothesis is that people (mostly adults) don't ridicule (whatsoever) a question asked but the sheer laziness of searching for answers before asking and the lack of critical thinking. Let me put it this way. The answer is within reach, but you're too lazy to get it, so you ask someone to get it for you.
I'm blunt. I know. I don't care.
You may bash me now. Truth hurts.
