No, there are very dumb question/statements. And it is indeed correct to call them out.

Why is it dumb? Because it packs in an assertion that is implied true, without asking.

An appropriate answer is "Mu". Or 'unask the question'.



You can use a word or words that is not offensive to express the same point. Like how you explained the use of the word.


Stupidity is offensive. Your point?


Offence is taken not given. I can understand you can feel offended or frustrated when someone behaves in a way you call stupid. However, you could give them the benefit of a doubt and assume they made a mistake or they didn't know better.
