You want me to put a sample size of 1 anecdote through a peer reviewed study?
All I'm saying is that I find it to be useful to be able to ask questions about topics that I'm learning, and have them answered instantly instead of having to use a search engine or other resource to hunt down an answer to a specific question.
For a recent example where I am learning about deep learning: In what circumstances is MSE a useful loss function for regression? This is not a hard question to answer from a variety of resources, but I find it particularly useful to have my question answered differently instead of having to sort through a variety of resources. Maybe I'm losing something by not having to click through a few different resources and parse information that isn't directly relevant to what I want to learn. But for me, getting the answer fast keeps me from having to break away from the actual material that I'm learning.
