...is that musical information/knowledge is not owned by any one person. It is for everyone.
You NEED to ask questions to get better... so swallow your pride and ask.
You NEED to share your experience and knowledge to help others get better... so realize that you don't OWN any part of music exclusively.
(Musicians who are scared of letting go of their 'secrets' are usually scared that others will become greater than them if they share their knowledge so they try to shroud it in mystery - these people eventually alienate themselves)
If you meet someone like this who tries to evade answering a question directly, simply move on and find someone who will answer it, do the required work, and then start looking for the next question you need to ask.
Finally, it should be the case that all of us will always be on both sides of the fence here, in the sense that one should always have questions to ask and answers to share. I'm not sure that one could ever be so good that there are no more questions left to ask...
