Why try to answer if you're unfamiliar with the question?

I just don't get the responses like the comments I see on How to disable blue highlighting of text form field when selected in Word?

First two comments are "Can you provide a screenshot for before and after? I am not familiar" and "What do you mean by text form field ?"

Why try to answer a question that one knows nothing about? A huge number of Word users know what a text form field is; why not just pass it by?

Am I missing something here? I don't try to answer questions where it's clear that I don't understand the question itself, not because of the question wording but because it's out of my arena. Why would someone so unfamiliar with Word that they don't know what a "form field" is, push the poster to provide a screenshot or explain text form fields, rather than just go past it?

I want to say something about it on the comments, but I don't want to be confrontative or act like this newb is trying to tell others what to do.
