This is a perfectly acceptable question in a science course. Just because you don't have the experience, knowledge, or, barring those two, even just the imagination to understand how a question might apply doesn't make it strange or dumb. It does speak volumes about you, though.

Exactly. Citing a psychology paper from 1912 is risky business. Young people don't know precisely when each particular science caught up to the current paradigm.
