What is a "shot tower"? Don't ask Simon Dallow. He does not know.

[Roscoe]

Hang on though... Why are we poking borax at people who don't know something, and ask questions? The only stupid question is the one not asked. And the wisest answer is 'I don't know, but I know how to find out...'

Yes.  I happen to know what a shot tower is, but there are millions of other thing I don"t know.  I bet there are many things that Dallow knows that the OP doesn't.  It's unreasonable to expect a tv news presenter to know everything, that's not what his role is.

I was not commenting so much on the fact that Simon Dallow did not know what a shot tower was. I was making the point that he admitted to the entire country that he was ignorant of the fact instead of doing a bit of research. As I have said, it's not difficult. EVERYONE has heard of Google. I would have thought that he would have either asked around TVNZ or had a look on Google rather than telling everyone that he had no idea. Why would you want to tell all the country that you were ignorant of the fact? He's a good announcer but, it seems by his own admission, not too knowledgeable.
