amazing! How did such a discussion inducing question survive on modern stack overflow?
I guess the question-closing-mavens do not stalk the aviation section as they do the programming/IT ones.
- castis 10y agoMy guess would be that the aviation SE doesn't see variants of the same questions posted every day.
- Urbanxassassin 10y agoNo. No we don't lol.
- andrelaszlo 10y agoI think it could also be because there's clearly a single correct answer, even though it generates a lot of discussion.
- walrus 10y agoThe smaller SE sites tend to be more tolerant of discussion. I've asked a couple blatantly subjective questions on math.SE that were answered by moderators and didn't get closed.
- Piskvorrr 10y agoSimple: because it's not Stack Overflow ;) It's a different site of Stack Exchange, with slightly different goals, and several orders of magnitude smaller (low tens of thousands vs. high millions of users) - which is IMNSHO the crucial difference. On the scale of SO, this question would get asked by ten different users a day, and consequently it would get closed.
