This is still sad.

Why should people take the time to figure out stuff they can quickly learn from asking a question?

People who do this often get bad habits that are hard to undo.

(Just to be clear: people have to ride also.)

I didn't say this. Somebody who is asking questions like the OP's isn't likely to be an experienced/skilled rider.

Learning "better" ways of doing things could still be fun. It's also not "complicated".

There is no reason not to seek out what other people have learned and avoid taking the time to figure it all out yourself.

Your "advice" is effectively "don't ask questions" (which is sad).

False dilemma: it's not a choice of one or the other. It's easy to do both. No one is talking about "obsessing" over anything (this is a strawman).

The OP already chose to ask question on the internet. So, he thinks it's worthwhile for him.

Many people who don't seek out information from knowledgeable people retain bad habits for a long time. For many things, people would be better off learning things from other people rather than never learning a "better" way to do things. Often, this isn't much effort

You are doing exactly what you are recommending people not do. This doesn't make sense. And, since you aren't really answering the OPs question, what you shouldn't be doing isn't really useful.
