Please take stupid out of FAQ Q1



At https://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser, I see: "Sometimes even the
most experienced people can do stupid things."

Please change this to something like: "Sometimes even the most experienced
people can make mistakes." 

An organisation that calls their users stupid is not a friendly, welcoming
organisation.  I read this and think "If experienced developers make
occasional mistakes and seek help on debian lists, and others think the
mistake is obvious, they get called or regarded as stupid.  I am not an
experienced developer and I am more likely to make mistakes.  Now if I
admit them on a debian list, I will be treated as stupid."

Changing the wording on the FAQ would be a small step to making Debian more
user friendly.

Thanks,
Alex
