"Unnecessary questions"? Someone was obviously wondering/confused about them in order to ask, making them necessary. Please put them back (I can't make heads or tails of the "line" system, so I have no idea where they were).

There's a line between confusion and nitpicking. These questions were nitpicking.

Oftentimes it's the little details that are confusing. You notice them, and they stick in your head, but since they're so small, no Word of God has ever been given. I don't see the problem with asking here and letting other tropers lend interpretations. Besides, there's also a difference between nitpicking and complaining.

Also: unpicked nits are a major cause of headscratching.

I agree. Some of the questions seemed valid and in no way complaining to me. Who cares if it is nitpicking. Nitpicking can confuse people just as much as major plot points can. Take Star Wars. Why did that guy who wasn't a Jedi in the fourth movie say "May the Force be with you."? Nitpicking-yes. Headscratcher-also yes.
