As one often guilty of this crime, this speaks to me like it does to the other commenters. That said, a distinction must be drawn on whether the asker is looking for an answer or a collaboration. Sometimes they need help getting to an answer and need expertise to work their way there. But if they just _need an answer_, I'm not sure arming them with nuance is necessarily bad. Sometimes an end to a conversation just means the need is satisfied. Not that you can fully assume one way or another.
