No definitely not stupid. Actually pretty intelligent, all that talk about the dashpot, I doubt even a handful of people even know what it is let alone where it is.
As far as the TPS, in my opinion you are better off just replacing it. It is technically adjustable because the bolt holes in the sensor are eccentric (oval) like the hold down for the distributor or cam sensor.
You have been messing with the idle screw correct? Well that might be throwing off the TPS by having the idle turned up. I don't know but its worth a shot replacing it.
