I do agree. In other metaphysical systems, usually, the more people are asking/answering the more lively a community is and everyone is learning and moving forward.
Here I think the showstopping aspect is the 'Value'. As the value of the systems is perceived so high, people doesn't dare to ask, as to not look silly. While no one cares about that in western metaphysics in a healthy place, most of the time. We care to learn stuff.
The difference between laughing in a fast food restaurant and doing it in the most expensive restaurant in the world. Many will withhold in the second case.
I'm not saying its bad, though, I think I understand why it is and I kinda agree with the need there, but while its there its difficult to develop and grow, as it destroyes movement by its own definition(value/asset/peach blossom = no movement, as only 'control' images, in my humble view).
I'm interested in other tech stuff that is very expensive and even though it is in the open and people are friendly and supportive, the community rarely asks, and I think its because of the same thing. Still much better then the Five Arts, sometimes, I think.
