Theory of why people ask stupid questions! (AKA Noob Theory)

I see so many people posting questions - questions that are obvious, or questions that could easily be answered by reading. Infact they usually know the answer they just want you to do the work that would take them no time at all! And they post threads claiming how they want to turn there low-no budget grow into a 12,000 watt grow. I can not stand the stupid questions. My theory is they do it for attention. What do you think?

Being a semi-reformed newbie, and someone who grew up in a different culture then most of you, i see how common sense is limited to environment. Let me clarify. What is considered common sense to the average 21 year old New Yorker who never left the city is going to be a much different definition of what common sense is to a 21 year old who grew up and lives in the swamps of louisiana. So when it comes to growing anything, different cultures have differnt connections between common sense and plants of any sort. This plays into what instincts people have, and some cultural instincts are good for growing and some are bad for growing. So you will always get stupid questions because everyone is ignorant about different things (but all can offer a lot of knowledge in other areas if you listen to them). People are differnt, gotta teach them when you can even when its stupid answer clearly and then they learn and are no longer newbies. Sometimes we forget what it was like starting out on anything in life and how long it took for certain things to come together that then made it easier.

Case and point, until now I have never been able to roll joints, at least none that were good enough that i'd hand it to someone to share. Only this week have i realized that my joitns have gotten pretty damned good. I haven't shared any yet, but the instincts in my fingers came together. like i said, i'm a newbie, but because of choices I make my MMJ comes out fantastic

Lots of reasons I think, lazyness, ignorance, attention seeking, full-of-shittness, etc... Some of it could be just not having any clue whats involved too.

So my last plant produced 15 lbs. I just want to know what nutes are. also how many table lamps does it take to make a 1000 watts?
 
There are lots of reasons why people ask stupid questions. But remember, it may be a stupid question for some and it can also be a good question for others. Usually, newbies like me want to understand more about Marijuana growing, smoking and cultivation. We are new in the forum so we don't know how to search for the correct answers here.
