> I felt weird about doing this given that rep points are involved, but between having someone lose rep points vs a larger group of people potentially going down a sub-optimal path, I chose the former.

Or accrue for the duration an answer is still relevant (for low level questions especially, the best answer might stay so forever if dealing with a specific CPU architecture for instance).
