OT: Why some questions shouldn't be given a direct answer

This topic, somewhat OT to our list's purposes, came-up (again) some 
weeks back. Here is an article which may explain why some of us don't 
give direct or full-answers to questions - we prioritise learning!
(and if you're 'into' AI, the article covers that too)

- learning takes effort
- answers are not learning
- gaps in knowledge are invisible (to self)
- 'hitting a wall' is no fun!
- learning involves hierarchies of knowledge/facts
- opportunities for AI to help learning (cf confidently give 'answers')
- learning is not the same as 'doing'
