Thinking for oneself can lead to questioning the statements of others, mistakenly or otherwise. If one starts from wrong assumptions, answers in another context may be correct, yet cause confusion if they don't target the assumptions. If you don't understand and can't figure it out, ask. We should allow for this.
I recall a beginner who had fixed in their mind that pitch went up as more holes were closed down. He strove almost miraculously to make that work, but the result was chaos until, two weeks along, the teacher finally got him to articulate his misconception.
However, often enough we see thoughtless posts. This board is far from the worst forum of that. I've taken to reading comments to news articles and public forums on different topics - especially those allowing anonymity - because, though it often raises my blood pressure, it's too great and awful a general statement about the fragmentary way many people think to be ignored.
