Well, I'd say that maybe 99% of the questions asked on this site could be looked up in the rule or case book, and probably should, but I enjoy this site to read those Q's, hear the veterans explanations or examples of what happened to them, read the small disagreements among us, and ultimately learn from these questions- to be a better official.
Many times these posts go in depth which helps explain the rules more then the (sometimes) brief wording in the books.
All officials know that they should constantly read said books, but it can be a hindrence if one asks a Q, and expecting a "veteran" to answer "look in the book". You could probably give an intelligent response in the time it took to type a flippant one. Our profession catches enough grief as it is. Help by mentoring on a small scale.
Ben Franklin said it best "We must all hang together, or we will surely hang separately".
And I mean no disrespect.
