Ironically, I'm probably on the OP's ignore list, but in this case, I'm going to say I think they're right about a lot of this. We tend to make assumptions, and even when we don't mean to, we tend to, instead of saying, Thiis is what you should do, say, Well if you'd done this, maybe we could have helped. I remember an old mailing list letter that I still have saved, where someone said something like (I said saved somewhere, not sure where, and this isn't important enough to dig it up), to say enable <whatever> with no further explation is almost no help at all. I feel like I started the heating of this thread with a somewhat nasty comment about the posting style, but leaving that aside, I can understand the OP's frustration when someone give an answer that is easy for the person that gave the answer, but not so simple to person who reads the answer.
I can give an example, on an old FreeBSD mailing list thread, someone gave a solution. Let's say, (I'm going on poor memory here) they said something like download the tarball and patch the files. So, that is simple advice for many of us, but at the time, I didn't get it and asked them. They didn't say man tar, man patch, they were nice enough to say download the file, then run tar xvf filetobepatched.tgz. Then download filefix.patch, then run patch filetobepatched < filefix.patch. I've never forgotten how nice so many people were to me as I was learning and I try, when I can to give the same courtesy, and if someone doesn't understand an instruction I give, I try to clarify, to pass it forward, so to speak. Not that I have great advice, but when I do know how to something, I'll try to share it.
So, I think the OP had some reasons to be irked, and many of us, especially me with my nasty remark, didn't help the OP's mood, and then when one of us tried to help with something that wasn't clear, it ran to more frustration. Was this ideal? I'm not any kind of judge of human nature, so I dunno. Maybe, they should have reacted by saying, I don't get it, would you explain what you meant by this? Anyway, it's up to each of us to decide how to react when we get an answer that doesn't help, as well as up to each of us to decided how much detail to put in an answer we give.
TLDR: What is simple to one person might be complex to the next one. Many of us know, for example, how to use bectl or beadm to make a boot environment, but if you don't know it, and someone just says, why don't you make a backup BE before the upgrade, that would probably frustrate the person with the question, who hasn't learned about BE's
