Would it be reasonable if I intend to learn a new language, to ask programming questions that are just "TOO SIMPLE" for anyone who has 6 months or so with the language but are not so obvious at the beginning (first couple of weeks?)

Most of the times the answers are a Google away, but sometimes you really have to know WHAT to "google" to get good results.

Things like specific syntax are hard to find in Google for instance (the next thing I want to ask: )

What is this called in Python:

 [('/', MainPage)]

Is that an array .. of ... erhm one dictionary? Is that

() 

A tuple? (or whatever they call it?)

I think it would take me 5 - 15 mins to find out with: STFW, but it would take me less than a minute using Stack Overflow.

Plus, I would be giving away 25 rep points every time (10 for the upvote, 15 for the accepted answer)
