I think taking the stupid out would make it worse. Making it a stupid questions thread makes it a safe space to ask questions that FEEL stupid to the asker.The point of this thread isn't to enable important critiques of the sequences, it's to make it easier to ask questions when they feel like everyone else already acts like they know the answer or something. There can be other venues for actual critiques or serious questions about how accurate the sequences are.
"Basic questions", "background questions", "simple questions" or even "Explain Like I'm Five" would all get the point across without "stupid".
"Simple question" makes you wonder whether your question is simple.
