I see a lot advice about how to answer questions, but I think that ANSWERING questions is just as critical of a skill.

If you don't have the time to answer a question properly it is always possible to at least explain why and point the person in the right direction. More importantly, deliberately becoming "super unhelpful" in response to a question you don't feel is warranted will come back to hurt you far more than taking some time to answer it.
