Well, if you mean that a question is not stupid just because it gets an answer that explains "convincingly" that it doesn't hit the point - then I agree with you. :-) Perhaps I shouldn't have called it "stupid". But it definitely is a question that aims into the wrong direction. Again: if people think they can't stand the risks caused by macros they (or we) should remove macros or their execution from documents. People must understand that a macro is pretty much the same as a program and that executing a macro in a document of unknown source is the same as executing a program that was downloaded from somewhere in the internet.
