I think "the worthiness of the question" is proxied by the upvotes on the answer. Imagine two good answers, one on an advanced question and one on a very basic one. The basic answer gets way more upvotes. Is that unfair? It helped a lot more people, apparently, which is the goal of the site. It more readily demonstrates that the author creates content that helps a lot of people, which is the goal of points. As long as you don't imagine that more points means more knowledge, I don't see the issue.
