It may be worse than that, because he’s too stupid to understand the answers, so the answers he elicits are prompting him to start new threads seeking clarification (Q:“What shape is an electron?” A:“An electron is a point particle.” New thread: “What’s a point particle?”). I see the potential here for an exponential progression. GQ is turning into a mess of juvenile questions, but if **abashed** ever discovers Google (probably in response to his future GQ thread, “What is Google?”) he may bring down the Internet. ---
