A thousand times yes. Stack Overflow has such a high page rank, that closed questions are often at the top of Google Search results. Keeping closed questions available for Google to find is a massive waste of time. On the Google result page it looks like this is exactly the right question -- but just like Experts Exchange, the page doesn't tell you the solution. If Stack Overflow really wanted to make life easier for people, they would delete closed questions, or move them to a directory that is excluded from search engines. Closed questions are basically bait-and-switch for searchers; they show the question, but don't have an answer.
