More attempts to prove your short pitiful time in broadcasting gave you some kind of insight into how it all works, nothing could be further from the truth. You don't know shit about broadcasting, sales, programming, nothing you were a newsreader who was first to go when the budget got tight. Having failed to make something of your degree, you moved to a cube unable to prove to anyone you had the talent for broadcasting.
Malicious actors, however, can use this norm to their advantage. They can use questions to feign ignorance and pretend that they are just engaging in healthy inquiry. This tactic even has a name: “I’m just asking questions!” A bad actor will ask a clearly inflammatory question; but when met with backlash, they will simply say that they are innocently inquiring because they don’t know the right answer. They exploit the fact that questions signal ignorance in order to hide their ulterior motives. Replies:
