I really don't see anything wrong with people asking questions. In fact I think its healthy to ask questions, it shows an impulse to want to truly understand the environment around us. Particularly so when things pop up that challenge the status quo. Never blindly follow...

Even stupid questions are ok. I think we should encourage people. Not stomp them down. Patience is an asset.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions, even stupid ones. There is no shame in admitting you don't know something and wanting to find out.
As I keep re-iterating in many threads like this, there is a lot of shame and a definite need to stomp on asking questions when all you want is your own prejudice reinforced, when you don't actually want an answer at all. That's what's stupid, not the question.
