Honestly, that is a problem with the OP's mindset not SE's signaling. Closing isn't a bad thing. Obviously closing questions needs to be packed into a greater learning experience. That is part of our job as high rep users. This post is a step toward exactly that: Give people a way forward. The first step is to stop treating closing like a punishment. This applies to both voters and askers.
