Probably questions that can be answered by RTFM
LLM has RATFM and you can ask it directly
Most questions can be answered by RTFM. That does not automatically mean the questions should not be asked.
Proponents of RTFM seem to believe all manuals are written well, when that's the exception and not the norm.
If all you have to say is RTFM, everyone would be better off if you sat out the question and let others chime in. The overall posture reeks of ladder pulling.
