It's not about "i am scareD to ask" but "fck off this is not what I am askeD". You (OP author) shall know what I mean.

I think its work related because people are scared its going to make them seem less qualified as a engineer, because we have some serious know it alls here (not the bad kind but some people here probably have like 50 years experience). And some times the different languages and translations make people come off as extremely stiff.

Right. You better do everything to *not* be on any side of that thought.

In reality the good engineers know the limits of their knowledge and are completely open about it. Ignorance is curable, whereas stupidity and arrogance aren't.

When interviewing candidates, I always tried to get them to simply say "I don't know, but this is how I would find out".
When interviewing companies to see if I wanted to work there, I always tried to get them to say "no, that's not how we do it" - because then I could believe them when they said "yes".
Simon:
I pride myself in knowing my limits and am always happy to get a second opinion. It stops me making a mistake that would make me look even more silly.
