Yes, the term "pedantry" often describes the act of providing excessive detail or focusing on trivial points, which can be used to mock or belittle someone's understanding. Another related term is "sarcasm," especially when the detailed response is intended to highlight the futility of the question. Additionally, "over-explanation" can refer to the act of elaborating unnecessarily, particularly when the audience may not find the information useful.

Why did answer com not help you?

Probably because you didn't ask a good question. You left out information necessary to answer it, or your question was silly and meaningless, or you asked for information we don't provide as a matter of policy (like the home phone numbers of celebrities, or how to do illegal things).Or possibly, it's just that no one but you cares much about your question. We don't get paid to answer these, so if the question is boring or answering it would require doing a lot of work (or both), no one is going to bother.
