Purely anecdotal, and perhaps cynical, but that’s been my experience.
Yes, sometimes people will simply take the expedient option, but I often get the feeling they never even tried on their own, like even a little bit.
Is this really so? With respect, this take seems too cynical to me. I say this as a person to whom many come when they can't figure things out.
I often initially feel much like you do, but I temper that feeling with the knowledge that the asker is likely under delivery pressure, etc and has to subvert their curiosity in order to maintain velocity.
