It’s one thing to suggest the Socratic method may not be the best learning strategy, but it’s quite another to suggest that questions are overrated. Questions are so fundamental to increasing our knowledge in an intuitive way - just look at Stack Overflow, Quora, etc. for the success in helping people find answers (of decidedly varying quality). There is no limit to creative questions a group of people can ask but there is a limit to how much a single human thinks they know about a subject or can write in a single lecture, article, or book.
