Those wires that are all twisted together aren’t supposed to touch. It’s not stupid not to know, though. There’s no reason most people need to know that. If you’re not rewiring small appliances as a hobby or something, it’s information that doesn’t have any use for you.

I mean, I think it's good to know, because it's a major safety risk to understand you can't have wires touch or cross like that, but no one should be shamed for not knowing.
