If the relational and contextual answers were out there, your students would not need you the teacher. But they/we DO absolutely need you the teacher. You are the most important factor in any person's learning (every study concludes). So one of the things you do is to relate, to put into context, to make important or unimportant. By answering questions maybe you are telling them what is important.
