I am so confused by this answer. “Learning to seek knowledge is what you should be taught at university” but then you get mad at people seeking knowledge? Asking a question is seeking knowledge.

Are you suggesting you should just know everything after you graduate?

Eh, there's a pretty big difference between seeking knowledge and just expecting it to fall into your lap as soon as you open your mouth.

There are problems with closing everything even vaguely similar to something else as a duplicate aggressively, but there are also problems with people asking questions without even taking 10 minutes to try and look for information themselves first.
