Nature of Questions

Dear friends,
Going through the nature of discussions that we have had in this group so far, I feel, we have asked and answered really good questions. But my apprehension is that most of us haven't yet got the essence of the blog. Let me draw your attention back to the title of the blog: Embarrassing Questions! :)

The question being good doesn't really qualify it for this board. The question should be as utterly embarrassing to the person asking as possible. In other words, it should be a hole one had left in their school studies. A question like 'Is Pythagorus Theorem' a theorem or an axiom is a very apt question. Similarly, 'Why do the angles of a triangle add up to pi radians?'

There are large number of questions which we might be asking and it might be our credit to be doing so. That's why we are researchers. Aren't we? Here we should try to ask questions which earn us no credit because they should've got cleared in the school studies itself, but are possibly open to many of us.

Ya, that's the idea. Refrain from asking esoteric, highly philosophical or open research questions. We can have another platform for that. :)
