Jesus asking questions of the folks at the temple could be an odd thing too. They won't be able to tell him anything he doesn't already know, and as we've seen repeatedly, if child Jesus starts pointing out boo-boos in the writings (something that isn't very hard to do at all), the folks at the temple are going to wash his mouth out with naphtha.
Asking questions to see what they know can get ugly too, I got in trouble in high school for trying (and succeeding) to show up the American Government instructor. I can't imagine the temple staff would like to be quizzed.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
