Not a dumb question. The biggest practical difference between the two is that a conical bore's octaves are more in tune with each other than with the cylindrical. I think the differences in tone might have more to do with the heads of the two flutes (as well as the materials), rather than the bores.

Probably expensive, too, but we can just tack it onto the deficit.

I've always though of it as a kind of affectionate violence, like when you slug someone on the shoulder.

I'm of the opinion that it is completely unfounded. Please check out this link and let's hear no more about it.
