Coworkers answering wrong gets me to stop asking them for help, yes, especially if it's confident or they can't qualify uncertainty or I know their ratio of Q&A site visits vs 1st party docs visits is abysmal. There are even people I won't ask for help because they trust people that I don't trust.

Conversely, there are people who I will go to for topics that they are not the SME in, maybe their teammate even is, but I trust their ability to do quality research and intelligently interpret that research for case specific nuances. Like I'll go to the networking guy to talk about some DB thing because the DB guys are morons and live and die by junk SEO sites but the networking guy can think analytically and find the source of truth documentation and provide excerpts from it.
