I love asking that question, because usually somebody chimes in with deep understanding of the relevant domain that I don't have and can't get unless I'm using it daily. For example, recently someone linked to Dolphin smalltalk, and I asked how it was different than Pharo - I'm not an expert in either, and the answer was greatly illuminating. Also, this kind of question usually leads to me looking at other items related to the thing posted that I was unaware of. I don't think it's a bad question at all. Hell, sometimes the author comes in to explain it!
