@sewblue Nice! Agree about steering clear of the core team - IME it’s much easier to ask different/novel questions from an outsider’s perspective when you haven’t been invested in the solution and acclimatized to the group’s way of thinking. Being able to ask those questions, late in a project, that elicits a constructive conversation is a skill in itself :)
I don’t view those as dumb questions though - I think they speak to the need for diverse teams so that we cover more options.

“Even the detractors of American business tend to agree that companies are very good at sucking up profit opportunities, but here was a basic “technology” publicly available to everyone a decade a a half earlier, and it still took the most expensive consulting firm on the planet to help the largest retailers on the planet apply the basic principles that a ignorant 30-year old consultant could figure out over a weekend.”
