Asking “why” too many times annoys teachers and builds inventors.

A question asked past the point of politeness is where real understanding starts, which is also where it becomes inconvenient for whoever is running a room on a schedule. That tension is genuine and it is not a sign you are doing something wrong. People who keep asking end up with a picture of how things work, rather than a set of steps they can repeat.

Ask the second question this week, the one after the answer meant to satisfy you. If the room is not the place, write it down and chase it later. A page of unanswered whys beats a page of notes.
