I don't think either were stupid. What is up with you saying that?

I still don't get you but whatever.

I don't believe there is such a thing as asking a stupid question. The only thing stupid is not asking questions at all

I think the way I'd phrase it - there are some questions where if a five or six year old asked them in a particular way you could take them as sincere questions. If an adult asks them in that specific way you're in a different territory.

I would imagine if one has not yet achieved and fully experienced what they sense or feel that they needed to in the present corporeal state which they occupy, that may well be possible grounds for the generation of fear. As yet another experience.
