Stupid answer does not.. When the dismissal must be dismissed  By Dr. Sohail Ansari

Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words).

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism.

Stupid answer does not always prove you stupid. 

Wrong questions are of various kinds: ask a child about the feelings he will be introduced much later in life and you will get the stupid answer; but the stupidity of answer proves the stupidity of questioner not of a child. Question is wrong for the person if it proves him wrong. Question the licentious hedonist of the rightness of asceticism. Answer: ‘This is the right way of living a life’ proves the stupidity of a respondent as he follows the wrong way of living: ‘a stupid person gives a sensible answer’; however, the answer: ‘this is the wrong way of life’ is the stupid answer that proves a person stupid. Some questions are so stupidly wrong that even attempt on the part of respondent to meet them can prove respondent stupid: ‘what will happen if a man defeats God and takes over the control of the universe’. Answer: ‘Answer is not possible as this is impossible’. Wrong application of a right answer to a right question produces painfully funny recommendations. Man experiencing restlessness because of jaded appetite is questioned ‘how he feels’ and the response is taken to address restlessness created by the pangs of hunger; malnourished and emaciated are consequently advised to go for diet and exercise. The cruelest joke is to suggest a man to spend lesser time on bed who has pain in his body because of no rest not because of too much rest.

When the dismissal must be dismissed  

The error in reasoning does or does not make the entire reasoning wrong. It does if it is of fundamental nature; however, in case, it is not then completely dismissing an argument because of it renders the dismissal invalid; and one must dismiss such dismissal.
