hello ericr.
I can't answer your question simply because I do not know. So if you think you are dumb you had better count me in too.
I left school 55 years ago. A teacher who I respect told my class the following.

"don't be afraid to ask what you don't understand. For if you don't understand you can bet others in the class don't either".

I worked in Malaysia for quite some time. If you asked any of them a question they felt obligated to answer even if they didn't know. I'd go to work each day and give them this little lecture- If you don't know the answer to my questions say "I don't know". I repeated that little statement following any question I asked at any time.
