Hopefully this won't get me banned. I taught school school for many years and if a student asked me a question and I replied "I already answered that go look it up", I would have been fired rather quickly. People learn in different ways and I needed to to explain in ways they best understood. And I learned never to assume I explained everything the first time. Some students needed to ask questions to "get it right". Some students even asked questions that when answered helped clarify my original teaching. Some students asked questions i didn't cover at first. Sometimes what I first said was confusing or incomplete, imagine that! I also considered it my job to explain what a book said, even if what it said was complete.
