There is no such thing as a dumb question. Carl Sagan 11 .Drilling Engineering Course Introductory Conclusion Both in the oilfield and in the lecture if something doesn’t sound right to you or you don’t understand… ASK! There are naive questions. questions put after inadequate selfcriticism. tedious questions. But every question is a cry to understand the world. ill-phrased questions.
