Peoples' values vary. People who don't value answers wouldn't be very popular if they turned up here, but they do exist, and I don't see much point in passing judgment on them.
"It's not that I judge them, I just, just..."
"Don't see any reason for them to exist?"
"Exactly."
HP:MoR.
To be fair, I expect that most of them don't see much reason for people like us to exist, either.

Hey, but I like you! ;-)
Seriously, in my line of work, answers only take you a step or two forward. The lasting value is in the questions, which can be reused over and over again to produce change as a side effect of the answering, while the actual answers can be consciously discarded once the process of answering is complete.
