I regularly ask questions before seeking knowledge on my own, just to check back on my post a few hours/days/weeks later.

The point of asking the question is to leverage others experience to guide your learning, and provide a reference for those in the future that have a similar question.

The post has no question marks, nor does it seek knowledge. Instead, it makes declarative statements implying that the knowledge is actually probably useless.

Correct.

> nor does it seek knowledge.

Open to interpretation- when someone claims they don't know what something is, I interpret that as an invitation to explanation, exposition.
