The issue with the "i'm just asking questions" is that it is overused by disingenuous (i started writing nefarious but i think you can be nefarious but mean good, whereas people who do this _always_ mean to trick other humans) people. So nowadays, if you want to go ask a question to go further on a topic because you're interested in it, you need to add a preamble that explain. See:

"How did ancient egyptian managed to cut rock that cleanly without modern tools?"

vs

"I'm very interested in old tools and techniques, do any of you have resources about how Egyptian used to cut granite?"

Sadly, this is the state of the internet, because some people can't be genuine (probably think it's a weakness or something dumb), now everybody assume the worst of everybody else.
