It wants the Asker to elevate themselves to the level of thinking as the Answerer and also have the forethought to ask “the right question”.
But it lacks the perspective of what it means to be new at something. When you’re new, you have no context of what the hell anything is. So you throw spaghetti at the wall and ask is this how you make pasta.
If it’s a culture where stupid questions are allowed and people are willing to be mentors… Just ask your question.
