    They are not obligated to explain, but they are not correct for saying that nobody else can.

      I’d just say that existing good explanations elsewhere (and perfectly searchable ones at that), they shouldn’t.

        Ah yes, do your own research is a great way for uninformed people to find the right information.

        No individual is required to do anything, but someone linking to a good explanation shouldn’t be discouraged.

          Your position seemed to be that every time a person ask a question, somebody should answer the question or provide the link even if the person hasn’t bother to do any research first.

          “How to ask questions the smart way” was written for a reason.
