I believe that a proverb exists, with wording something like
"It is better to look a fool for the time that it takes to ask a 
question, than to look a fool forever, for not asking the question.".

If you did not ask, you would not have learned, and, your having asked, 
can mean that others can also learn what you have learned, from your 
having asked the question.

People should never have to apologise for asking to learn what they do 
not know.
