In this case, my question, quoted above, is trying to gauge the
educational level of the recipient of an answer.  Too much effort
may be required to bring the recipient to elementary school level.

Instead of seeking such information, so that an informed answer
could be formulated, I suppose I should simply ask the impolite
question: "Where you born stupid, or did you have to work at?"
