If there are only dumb people, and no dumb questions, the implication is that dumb people either ask smart questions or no questions at all. I don't believe the latter is actually the case, and the former seems contradictory. Thus I conclude that when dumb people ask questions those questions will tend towards being dumb, hence: How is babby formed?

It is funny that you can also learn things like that without questions, but how could it be any other way? We are all born dumb!
