Should I just stick with "fluffy" questions on Fluther?

I learned a long time ago that being a good participant at a dinner or cocktail party involved lots of listening, and knowing how to ask and answer provocative questions.
So I figure it is generally a good thing to occasionally mix things up on Fluther with provocative questions.
For example, I always sort of liked this one.

Also, on occasion, I have asked truly stupid questions, like this one about French Fries.

I also asked one about how dinosaurs might have tasted.
I got lots of answers for the dinosaur and French Fry questions.

I don’t get much action (and certainly few Good Questions) on the ones that I think are interesting.

And I am sure it is just me. Fluther is sort of like high school. Some people are popular and some are not. No problem. I understand that.

But, in your opinion, is it better to stick with questions about French Fries and stuff, and get out of the business of controversy? And be more popular and get a few more Good Questions? Or is controversy sort of stimulating and worthy of a place on Fluther, even though one becomes sort of a target for plenty of jellies’ disdain?
Let me know please.
