Its so strange when I agree with you. Like, the universe seems out of 
alignment.

But yes. What he said.

We aren't necessarily going to just answer a direct question with a 
direct answer, because *very often* the answer might depend on more then 
what you're saying, or the question doesn't seem to make sense the way 
posed (even if the answer is obvious to us, we may go, 'but wait, why 
would you ask this?' and try to find a deeper understanding to help you 
more), or we have experience with people asking the very same sort of 
question and they're going down a path leading to pain and suffering.

So we will advise and share our experience in addition to, perhaps 
eventually, answering directly.

If you don't like it, tough :)
