The men of the Torah and the Mishnah (and their Christian equivalents) are rightly famed for their wisdom. I am not one of them.

I would disagree with your assessment. One is not born with wisdom, it is acquired:

Proverbs 23:23 Buy truth, and do not sell it, Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.

Proverbs 4:5 Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! . . . (7) The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your acquiring, get understanding. (8) Prize her, and she will exalt you; She will honor you if you embrace her.

Luke 2:52 And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

I would say, questioning leads to the acquiring of wisdom. By your questioning you are seeking wisdom and understanding.
