> So it would destroy SO if, in the context of programming, there was a best of question? Are they really that tight-assed? While I doubt it would destroy the site, it's extremely hard to moderate and clean up giant debate answers. StackOverflow was never advertised as a "programming/coding catchall" site, it's a very specific platform tuned to very specific needs, much like an equation, giving a tuned answer for the question. Open-ended questions are beyond the original scope of the site, and StackOverflow has grown to become the largest coding question platform as a result of it.
