Remember that having that rule doesn't stop people from asking for advice. If someone wants to say, "this sucks! What's a better way of doing it?" they still can. The rule-as-written doesn't even preclude a replier from asking, "I've got a suggestion, if you're interested?" (although that might still be frowned upon, it still comes across a lot better than "have you tried this?")
