It seems to me like someone with few points is least likely to understand a solution to a duplicate of their problem.. I don't really see the harm in linking it

It seems to me like someone with few points is least likely to understand a solution to a duplicate of their problem.. I don't really see the harm in linking it and still letting people answer or comment on the proxied solution.
SE spends half the time saying an overlapping diversity makes it easy to find a question and answer that fits and the other half eliminating that diversity (and bringing non-adept people to dead ends in their searches that land on SO.)
- jrumbut 7y agoMy proposal is intentionally moderate. If I had my way, I'd go further, but this is something I've thought about and think it may be palatable to those at SO who want to preserve the strictness and maintain respect for those who contribute. You still have to put in a lot of work to figure out how things work, but if you do the work you get credibility. I see it as a way to meet in the middle.
