Am I wrong?

I'm being told to put a question mark icon next to a datepicker calendar icon so users can read the popup on the question mark in order to be told that they can click on the calendar icon to bring up the datepicker. Seriously.

I've not seen a single website do this as it's just common sense. Am I offbase here? Are people really that stupid? (the site is something to do with an airport and would be used after someone has already booked tickets and therefore, already used a datepicker to do so).

I still think it's silly (akin to putting one next to the submit button so they know to click it) but you guys are right.

Will use a tooltip (as it looks nicer than the title popups).
Been using qtips for a while now, good little plugin... well, not so little but definitely good.
