I'm not so sure about that. SO users are quick to answer simple/easy problems but those are never the ones I need help with. Ask a question that requires a lot of expertise and some effort to answer, and it's nothing but crickets chirping, whereas if I'm lucky enough that someone already had my problem on EX, it is usually answered fully, even if it took 3 people multiple tries and a lot of effort to get there. Not to say that I'd ever pay for EX, but it obviously has its uses...
