The opening "stupid question" was there to set a tone, and prevent offense, but apparently that didn't take.
Anyway, there's no reason to get worked up over the bosses. Lots of people are riding with unused bosses on forks and stays after conversion to discs. Some brand new bikes come with both canti boss and disc mounts because the company doesn't want to make 2 versions of the frame.
Rather than be offended for no reason, stop and consider your options.
1- if unused, exchange the fork for one you'll be happy with. Or sell this one and buy another. You'll eat a loss, but be happier in the end.
2- if you cannot exchangeor sell it, learn to live with the fork as is, and/or find a way to make use of the bosses, like for a light or front rack mount.
3- remove the boss down to the base either by unscrewing (if possible) or permanently by hacksaw and file.
Or you can feel free to vent your frustration at me. I have thick skin and can take it, if that helps.
