I think we need to find out what we mean by stupid and sensible questions.
Of course one should in any given situation perform the experiments (ask questions) that gives highes expected information (largest number of bits) yield, I.E. ask if it is a vertebrae before you ask if it is a dog. What I think we disagree upon is the nature of a stupid question.
And now, it seems I cannot come up with a good definition of a stupid question as anything I previously would refer to as a “stupid question” can be equally reduced to humility.
