Music education in schools is a joke. I have a friend who’s made it his life’s mission to try to change how mischief is taught so kids actually want to play.
Side note, the entire music education system in the US was essentially a marketing tactic created by Conn! They pushed marching bands and school music programs hard and got schools to start programs all to sell more instruments! Genius!!!
I currently know how to do the following things:

You obviously did not read the whole thread
This was already mentioned by @Noisembryo and answered around post 18.
1 - Don’t beleive everything you read on the internet (true, for abbreviations or terms, should be correct, but not much else is all reliable)
2 - people actually like to engage with other people, even if only thru posts and messages on a forum - which can end up spawning off LIVE HANGS on Zoom meetings, and LIVE MEET UPS for lunches as a group. Plus people that will meet up in Japan at some point for a shopping spree, with a food stop I am sure.
3 - Sometimes, the question comes WHILE you are typing in a post, and it is much more convenient, to ask those, you are already in the middle of typing to engage with, instead of going off to google, in the middle of your post, and SOME times, with my old computer, and internet traffic, it takes longer to open up Google, and get an answer typed in and searched for, then I would get an answer with somebody that I am pretty much exchanging posts with in real time.
Probably more reasons too, but that is enough to validate the point.
That aligns with reason number 1, 2, and probably 3 above
Plus googling often leads to talkbass, which is a serious mixed bag of ego-fueled dunning-krueger when it comes to advice.
Reason 1
