The big problem is that half the time the answer that you get is that you shouldn't be in the situation you're in so the question doesn't apply.

Well yeah, but here's the thing, if I ask the question it's because I am in the situation I'm in, and therefore need assistance. So telling me that the situation I'm in is not optimal is literally the least helpful thing one could do.
