Yeah because he's attempting to do slowhacking which is forbidden by forum rules and generally a dumb thing you should not do. If someone asks for the tools explicitly to do dumb things, it's perfectly reasonable to inform them that they shouldn't be doing it in the first place, instead of blindly "helping".

The X/Y problem is also a real thing (no matter how hard you try to pretend it isn't), and often there is very good reason to go a longer way of discussion instead of fulfilling every request wihtout second thought, no matter how silly it sounds. This is how you can really help people do the right thing and learn, instead of programming by clobbering together dozens of random code snippets and wasting countless hours going in the wrong directions.

Experience is how you can actually help people. In programming "why?" is most often the more important question than "how?". Telling someone how to use query_client_cvar is, these days, a matter of simply linking to the API documentation page.
