You still have to be sensible in the way how you ask questions. Very possible to intentionally or unintentionally insult and trigger lots of other things just by "asking a question" (my speciality).
I try to channel Terry Gross. “You say it’s very important to frob the encabulator before and after you linearize the splines? Interesting, tell me more about that.” I don’t just want to correct bad code, I want to understand the misunderstandings that produced it and fix those. Otherwise you just wind up with more bad code.
