I think that it is possible that the scorn is in the mind of the receiver rather than the deliverer of the information.
I agree the nature of the both the question and the answer can be unclear. As a person asking for information I usually provide a bit of the
context for my question. It helps me get more useful suggestions.
For example, rather than simply post, "Visiting London for 1 day, what should I see?" I would contextualize my request as, "Hi! I'll be in London for one full day (arriving Friday night, leaving Sunday noon) this July in between trips. I know that a single day is nowhere near enough to visit all the 'must-see' attractions this world class city has to offer, but I'm curious what you'd suggest I see on a quick weekend visit. I'm particularly interested in architecture and photography, and I love walking and getting around via transit. Thanks!"
