A query question frequently exposes design choices, either logical or
physical.  Both of those can have great effect on the utility and
performance of the system.  Answering SQL questions helps people use
SQLite more effectively, and to understand where it differs from other
DBMSs.  

Queries occasionally provoke changes in SQLite itself, either because
the output was wrong (or unexpected), or because it presented a case
for optimization.  I have to believe that real queries from users on
this list serve to inform the developers in how SQLite is used.  (I
have never seen a homework question on this list.)

No, it won't, because it hasn't.  I've  been hanging out here for 18
months, and I remember only one annoying trivial-query participant.
Out of 13,693 messages, that doesn't amount to much.
