I mean, it's much easier to dismiss a shitty question than a good one.

Most researchers I know welcome difficult questions. Like that's the whole game. Finding the difficult questions about your work and answering them.

A lot of the time, it sucks of you only get bad questions or no questions. It usually means your work was uninteresting or so poorly presented no one grasped enough to even ask about something relevant.

If a subject is a scientific passion of yours, you don't dismiss good questions, you welcome them.
