A lot of people are going to disagree with you, including SO itself[1]:

not everyone learns that way. We try to make them better people but that's a process.

The founders have explained several times that the goal of StackOverflow is to be a wiki, not a forum.
When viewed in that context, it makes no sense to have multiple answers to the same question.
Learning and teaching are continuous processes and one that should be entered into in good faith by all. If you're tired of answering the same exact question hundreds of times a day, then you shouldn't really try answering the questions; maybe teaching isn't 'your thing'. My SO was a HS STEM teacher, it wasn't really my SO's thing, so my SO got a new job. It's not a big deal to not like teaching and it's better for everyone if you realize this quickly and leave it to those that do like teaching.
Pointing noobs towards already answered threads is not a good idea. That's basically saying RTFM. StackOverflow is literally the exact opposite of RTFM. It's explicitly a place to ask questions.
At it's core, StackOverflow is where teaching happens; you RTFM together.
