What is it with people these days?

They ask a question on the internet, then someone gives them the correct
answer (usually something which involves *work* to fix it), then the
person asking the question says...

"That is not the answer I was looking for. Anyone else?"

If they know what the answer should be, why are they asking?

They are used to the outcome based education system. You just have to write
down any old answer, and you will pass, because the teacher will not mark it
wrong so as to to keep the class's test scores high to get additional
funding next year for scoring so high and they might get a raise and it is
because it is what the teacher's union told them to do and it is PC..

Conditioning in one word.

Of course, that only happens in your fantasy world.
In reality what occurs is the teachers spend all their time prepping
their students to pass the test.
