Agreed. I've posed this question before. How is it a small group of people know ALL the answers...but only as long as they can be framed in a way to stifle any positivity and then 'clam up' when the answers lead to a potentially beneficial truth.
And flipping the switch from "I have ALL the answers!" to "If its important to you, then you figure it out." AIN'T cutting it.
Sorry. You just can't play it both ways without expecting some backlash. IMO.
