and it just took a long time to surface Stack overflow is good at crowdsourcing the effort to take a google-able question and dig down to the Nth page of results, clean up the answer, and stick it onto a domain that will show up in the first page of results. Anything beyond that is beyond the ability of the crowdsourced labor. It can manifest as controlling editors, pedants, or needless scrutiny. I think those are just symptoms of reaching the extent of the unpaid labor's skills and interests.
