I dunno, I feel like there’s often a reason that there’s considered to be obligations to generate answers. Like if someone pushes a claim on a topic with the justification that they’ve comprehensively studied the topic, you’d expect them to have a lot of knowledge, and thus be able to expand and clarify. And if someone pushes for a policy, you’d want that policy to be robust against foreseeable problems.
I can definitely see how there can be cases where there’s an unreasonable symmetry in how questions vs answers can be valued compared to how expensive they are, but it seems wrong to entirely throw out the obligation to generate answers in all cases.
