First quoted by Grand Nagus Zek, this rule of acquisition is actually a solid leadership principle.

Knowing when to ask the right question is a key trademark of successful leaders. Curiosity is what keeps us fresh, keeps us engaged, and keeps us learning.

Curiosity also killed the Cat.

Sometimes there are questions where it’s better to not know the answer. And the best leaders know when not to ask those questions.
