    Why yes, yes it is.

    But please be aware that your mileage may vary. What is true for one person may not be true for another.

    Hope that helps. ;)

      Is it?
      The metacognition it requires confounds lots of people.
      What makes a question “stupid”?

        You can tell because of the way it is.

    No. Self-references are interesting from a philosophical standpoint, and are often the cause of apparent paradoxes in logic.

    "Is this a stupid question?" is an example of self-reference and can thus lead into exploration of the topic if only as a way to avoid any difficulties its apparent lack of information otherwise presents.

    ... which is what I'm doing in this comment.

    I’ve been asking people that for years.
    Still haven’t gotten a good answer.
