First of all, while you are rating 10 to 30 answers a day, not only do you earn VP and entries to the Daily Grand, but also seeing the same question over and over gets your subconscious thinking about the answer automatically.
You may not agree with many of the answers you are rating (but I am sure this one will make sense to you!) but you will filter through all the information. You may also have information from your own personal experience or from other things you've heard or read.
All this information will be ready in your mind for when you need it.
But the next great thing about Ask SC is when you actually sit down to answer the questions... Don't answer a question the first time you see it. Take the time to rate answers for a couple of days and let you mind mull it over. Then when you sit down to answer the question you will process all the filtered information with a different part of your brain and come to a whole new level of understanding of the question and the answer.
I don't know if it works this way for everyone, but for me that is what I've found happens. I only started answering questions a couple of days ago (when I first achieved EA2) and I found that answering the questions gave me a much deeper understanding than merely reading others' answers.
Thirdly, asking questions of course will get you a plethora of viewpoints on anything you are unsure of or are having trouble understanding.
I hope this is helpful
