On the contrary, this is a good illustration for anyone who tends to
become offended by attempts to clarify and redirect false assumptions.

It should illustrate that, when requesting help, there is some benefit
to carefully thinking about problems and maintaining an open mind plus a
certain degree of humbleness.  After all, if you were really a genius at
the things you're asking about, you wouldn't need help at all would you?

When one needs help, it would seem to make sense to approach the process
of asking for help with implied gratefulness rather than overt
arrogance.  Otherwise, you stand the chance of people interpreting your
actions in such a way as to decide that helping you is not worth the
effort.

Maybe that's not the exact outcome someone reading this thread in the
archives would hope for but it is, IMO, a valuable lesson nonetheless.
