There are load of things that makes people dumb but calling IRCC isn't one of them. If your application is not important to You, you should not be on this platform in the first place. Provided you are, makes it clear that you want to know more about what's happening. What I believe is dumb is in not making effort to find out about your own application status but rather relying on responses that people post here. Knowing fully that nobody here can give a first hand information better that IRCC.#dealwithit.
Btw I am totally on your side. I too think people are too dumb/impatient.
