There are frequently hidden penalties for asking for help in the wrong way, in the wrong forum, about the wrong topic that are not even widely known by most established engineers.

And, sometimes, they're enforced by a very small but influential group.

So, it's true that not asking for help will often lead to failure, asking in the wrong way may also limit advancement.
