I think it is because users entering were seeing a whole channel filled with
idling people, which supposedly gives them the impression that everybody's
"dead". Like I said, if no one that isn't idling doesn't know the answer
either, they'll all look dead too :)

Exactly, if I would have received a euro for the number of times that just
reading what flew by solved a question that had been bugging me for quite a
while, I'd be rich by now. Often, there are also great ideas that people
have, but aren't realised, or at least not anytime soon. It gives the
observers a chance to try and take on one of those items on their own.
