The expression applies to learning things and knowledge. If you dont know something about what you are interested in and someone else does and you dont ask a question that is going to keep you away from the ultimate goal. The questions that people ask that make no sense or that have an obvious answer are the silly ones.
Of course, there can be SOME stupid questions found in learning, such as when a pupil or apprentice asks a question about a statement/object/instruction that was just immediately shown/said to them. These people have a sort of block that prevents them from learning certain things with ease, but they are indeed teachable, and those people who call them bad students or "Unteachable" are bad people. ANYONE can lean, and EVERYONE should try.
Questions that don't make any sense are the stupidest things to ask someone even if it's someone you know like grandma

A rhetorical question on a site for answering questions.
No, WikiAnswers.com is a Wiki which allows everyone to ask and answer questions.
The stupidest things are bullying and not being educated.
Same reason people ask any question. They want answers.
It is not the fault of the site, but a small group of users. Some engage in trolling behavior and ask things that are offensive, patently obvious, inflammatory, impossible, or unanswerable. The supervisors edit or remove such questions when they are found, and many contributors fix or report such questions.
You should have written ''a dumb question'' instead of ''dumb a question'' And no not everyone, but many people do so.. Source: I myself ask dumb questions sometimes because im bored
