I would tell you what a lecturer once told me. He runs his own business and said that if he didn’t understand the project he was hired to do, he charged 20 % extra. Because it would be of great importance for the costumer if someone really understood and asked all those stupid questions. So he was hired to be the “idiot” in a project and clarify all the question marks.
Sometimes we need more “idiots” to make things become easier to grasp and understand. This made me think of a quote from Einstein: “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction”.
This is what came to my mind after reading Seth Godin’s blog post Two kinds of 'don't know'.

The world needs more idiot's or if the idiots just need to ask more questions. I wonder who is the Albert Einstein of our time? Great post btw.
