Which is probably the larger population as this kind of substition happens most often when a common solution to a common problem is not used. So, when you notice this happens often and it annoys you, ask better questions. Explain what you want to achieve, what you considered and why you discarded certain solutions whilst you know they are common. If you get a substition beyond all of that chances are the person answering knows what's up. Embrace it, see why it is proposed and simply take time to explain why you couldn't use that (or can). It takes a few minutes but the person answering is spending more than you are, for free. Also you help every next viewer of your question.
