Anecdote (which serves as a reverse example i.e. senior asking a question):

We were having a regular status call and since the meeting finished early there was a general chit-chat happening.

That is when we started talking about "iphone" and our boss innocently asked "what is iphone" (it had been on the market for a year since its first launch)

We started looking at each other in disbelief. But we knew this about her. She used to openly ask in a meeting without shame on things she did not know. But once she understood something she use to process that info very well.

The team really adored her because she was so good in other managerial things (like defending team, good rapport with individuals, planning, etc).

Back story was that all her time was spent with her 2-3 kids leaving no time for other things.
