It wants the Asker to elevate themselves to the level of thinking as the Answerer and also have the forethought to ask “the right question”.
But it lacks the perspective of what it means to be new at something. When you’re new, you have no context of what the hell anything is. So you throw spaghetti at the wall and ask is this how you make pasta.
If it’s a culture where stupid questions are allowed and people are willing to be mentors… Just ask your question.
I think in this case, the OP should’ve just chosen one question and put it in the title, then left the post text blank.
If the question they wanted to know didn’t get answered, they could’ve had conversations with the commenters where they gave more detail about why they asked the question.
A post consisting of two different questions in two different places (and nothing else) just seems counterintuitive to me.
Honestly XY is hard to put into practice.

Whoa dude, just answer the question. If answering or asking doesn’t appeal to you just move on.
I thoroughly enjoy all the answers I’ve received and the discussion around it. Sorry I don’t live up to your “no stupid questions” question standard.
