I have been looking at the leaderboards on this site and during this extensive research (10 minutes!) i noticed people are answering like hundreds of questions a week (over worked agony aunts??).
Surely it is not possible to give genuinely helpful and relevant answers on a consistent basis to all those questions.
The idea of asking a question is because you want some help or advice (and a laugh), But if people give just one or two word answers (when the question doesn't warrant it) all the time, then that is often not helpful and they are missing the point of this site- Yes points are great, but they're worth a lot more if you earn them for genuinely helping (surely?)
You know who you are (mr/mrs just in it for the points) Can you give me a star please?!

HP - getting two points by simply answering a question with one or two word answers is a much more effective way to get points than thinking of an answer likely to win or help because i reckon you could probably get 10 points a minute doing that

lol most people just do this to gain points not to give helpfull advice especially in the polls and survey section.

Yeah I agree... They go for the 2 points rather than the 10.

The Polls & Surveys area is full of obnoxious questions to begin with, so sure they're going to receive dumb, short answers. Does it really matter?

here is a genuinely helpful answer:
go to another section for a genuinely helpful answer, BUT you gotta ask a genuine question, TOO.!

You are correct in your assumptions.
