I think you're researching will go faster if you take advantage of those here to ask questions.
I've never seen anyone here mind questions; even "stupid" ones. Those with the most expertise understand how much there is to learn and that others haven't had time to learn so much. They also understand their own ignorance in other things.
What is not appreciated is those who ask the same stupid questions over and over or even make ridiculous pronouncments after having been corrected.
To my mind, the most apparently stupid questions are often the most important. I try to be good at asking them.
