actually I think you are right, however it was also something we were overtly specific about - of trying to build a site which helps make sense of already existing data rather than a community approach to solving things. More on the lines of google search rather than yahoo answers. I think what you are getting at is that we need something more to engage the user for a longer term to keep him on the site. Definitely interesting, though not sure if it is good from loosing focus point of view.
