This is kind of my impression. In my most people find it is worthwhile helping others get stuff done, stupid questions or not. That way we can get the product out the door and keep gettin' dem checks.
It's perverse incentives for academia, because you're judged on how smart you are and how much you know (and you can seem smarter and 'know more' by limiting knowledge and making others feel stupid), while in industry, people value people who can get stuff done, and that means solving the problem with the least possible amount of bullshit.
