You can also look at it from other angles.
For example, if someone asks something without even taking the time to search, one could wonder if it is worth to help. If it would be a sign of his perseverance, it could mean he could quit mapping sooner or later and thus the time spent is wasted. (No offence to the thread starter, some problems can be mind-boggling at first.)
Another way to look at it is a problem with redundant explanations: if it was explained perfectly somewhere else, there’s a large chance someone who re-explains the matter could make a mistake or forgets something.
