Agreed. IMO StackOverflow would be greatly improved if they implemented a rule barring these responses unless they first answer the actual question at hand. To build off of another user's example, answering >"If I eat pizza in the morning, why does it taste metallic?" with >"Because of a chemical reaction due to blah blah blah... which raises the question- why are you eating pizza for breakfast anyways? Avocado toast is superior for <reasons>" Would be far more productive of a response for both cohorts of users; those searching for the direct answer and those searching for a better solution of what to have for breakfast.
