I don't disagree with you but there's a fine limit between asking questions and asking to be hand held.

And it also works the other way around: I cannot stand when a member of the team is too afraid/shy/... to say "I don't understand". (I'm not blaming the team mate as much as the work environment. Nevertheless it's still a very real problem).

When I get out of a meeting with coworkers and they said they understood (or implied it by not asking questions or saying "I don't understand") I really need to trust they do, or else major problems lie ahead.
