Oh my ... it's not a stupid question at all!
Sometimes just raised or depressed grain will look like a crack, or there may be just a surface hairline "crack" that never changes or gets deeper (a "check" in the wood). When a crack gets big enough to affect something that's obvious (unless it closes up - and that <b>does</b> happen!) I can identify them, but other than watching it open and close or having an affect on the sound I find that I'm an unreliable "crack finder".
Someone with experience at determining whether or not it really is a crack should take a look - an experienced teacher or a repairperson can probably tell right away, but I know someone like myself with limited experience in determining whether or not something is really cracked can be fooled.
