Happy to be the most ignorant person in the room

The person who asks the question usually does the whole room a favor.

Trisha Merriam said it plainly on the show: "I'm always happy to be the most ignorant person in the room because I know that everybody appreciates the question. It's intimidating to ask."

When you know a topic well, you forget to explain the part everyone else is stuck on. That is why I appreciate Trisha asking in the AI-Native office hours with Nico. If you've been holding back a question, ask it. Somebody else in the room needed it too.
