That’s a level of paranoia that I can’t really understand. I just do my research, then for information I can’t access, don’t know how to access, or can’t comprehend, I reach out. People have the right to not want to share information. If it’s in a work setting and the situation is blocking, I notify my supervisor.

> many word orderings trigger a 'latent space' which activates the "umm, why are you even doing this?" with the implication begin "you really are stupid!"

You may have heard of the XY situation when people asks a Y question only because they have an incorrect answer to X. A question has a goal (unless rethorical) and to the person being asked, it may be confusing. You may have a valid reason to go against common sense, but if the other person is not your tutor or a fellow researcher, he may not be willing to accommodate you and spend his time for a goal he have no context about.

Remember the car wash question for LLMs? Some phrasing have the pattern of a trick question and that’s another thing people watch out for.
