I'm not sure if I'm supposed to review this, seeing how it's so short, but I could tell you some things.
Put a comma between skeptical and but. It seems awkwardly phrased without a pause.
Dumbly has always been a tentative word to use, as it always seems like you're breaking some grammar rule. It also doesn't fit into the rest of the paragraph, though I'm not sure if that was intentional. I would replace it with something else.
All in all, a catching opener, or at least, a catching snippet of an assuming to be interesting opener.
