Classic physical world example: I was making a wooden frame to go between a light fixture and the ceiling of the overhang on my porch. I made the frame in my workshop, was going to paint it and mount it outside. So I went to home depot and asked for exterior paint. It was winter, and I instantly got a lecture about how you can't paint outside because it's too cold (before the guy showed me where the paint was). It's minor obviously, but it stands out because it's just like all these internet discussions where someone would rather tell you you're doing it wrong then try and help you. To me it's a cultural problem along the lines of lots of "we better not give people information because they are not enlightened enough to use it the way we want them too" ways of thinking. Personally I think it's a bad approach everywhere.
