>It of course speeds up learning but other-hand some problems could be solve like hours instead of weeks.

The question is how many times these hours are spent.

If the project is due tomorrow, it's worth asking ten people for a few hours of their time. If it's not urgent, blocking those ten people for a few hours might lead to more work time being spent on the problem than you figuring it out.

I think there's a sweet spot in between asking too little and too much, and it's contextual.
