No, that is wrong. Frequently asked questions are usually of the basic kind
(which is why they are frequently asked!), easily expressed, and have
accompanying basic ('obvious' , if you have the knowledge!) answers. I too
try to pursue interests deeply, and there is nothing wrong with that
approach, but it is not the purpose of FAQs, though they might lead on to
in depth answers by some linkage.
